Engineer I - Valves & Auxiliary Equipment

I love data science. But, my story is a bit different. 

I began as an Excel-Guru / Mechanical Engineer. Not a traditional background for a data scientist by any means. 

I used Excel until I reached its limits. 

I found R, and the rest is history:

- I began learning R, which led to applying data science to business 

- By applying data science, my team went from $3M/year to $15,000,000 per year

- I began consulting, which led to trainings all over the world

- I found my passion for teaching, and made a company out of it (Business Science!)

Since finding data science, I haven't worked a day in my life. It's been amazing. 

Let me know if you'd like to learn R, Python, or just want to chat data science.

Data Assistant

I am a finance student at Stevens Institute of Technology, pursuing a Master of Science degree with a focus on quantitative methods and financial mathematics. I am also enrolled in the Executive Program in Algorithmic Trading at QuantInsti, where I am learning the concepts and techniques of designing, testing, and implementing trading strategies using Python and R.

As an investment research analyst intern at Sungarden Investment Publishing and a content contributor at Seeking Alpha, I applied my data analysis, industry analysis, and presentation skills to produce and publish investment recommendations for various sectors and asset classes. I also conducted research on the concentrated equity holdings of board members and executives of publicly listed companies as a graduate research assistant at Stevens, using statistical tools and databases such as Bloomberg, FactSet, and WRDS. 

I thrive in high-pressure, fast-paced environments, where I can use my software, communication, and problem-solving talents to achieve positive outcomes. I believe in gaining new skills and putting them to use in the workplace. I also want to leverage my finance and economics knowledge and broaden my horizons every day. I am seeking full-time opportunities in the field of investment research, where I can contribute to the success of the organization and the industry.
