I am seeking a data science position in the New York City or Long Island area. I worked for four years in C++ with a MySQL database, handling data contributed by 500,000 volunteers. I have experience with machine learning and modeling from the K2 data science online curriculum. I have published journal articles in radio astronomy, volunteer computing, quantum mechanics, and physics education.
