That's me - or rather a three-dimensional representation of me - in the interactive space above. It was created from data collected with a Windows Kinect and included here via some JavaScript.
I moved to the Washington, DC area in 2006 and have lived in many different places in and around DC since. DC has a large community of great Data Scientists and Tech Developers (see Data Community DC) and there are always opportunities to appease intellectual curiosity.
I am formally trained in Naval Engineering in addition to Applied Statistics. I also have years of experience managing technical projects and am certified as a Project Management Professional (PMP) through PMI.
* Ratings are 1 to 5 (A 1 means something along the lines of only having seen a demo or watched a lecture and
I know the general capabilities. A 5 means that I'm an expert and would feel comfortable teaching others.)

Statistics is employed in a large number of diverse fields and I've worked on a diverse set of projects - from ophthalmological drug efficacy to resource-allocation optimization to weight estimating of ships.
Most of my programming experience has involved HTML/CSS, R and RShiny, Python, JavaScript and JQuery, Matlab, SQL, and C++ but I am familiar with many many others including CUDA, PHP, and Java.
Managing a development team and constructing and implementing the tools and procedures that are required takes tenacity, lots of communication, and problem-solving skills. In addition to traditional waterfall management methods, I am experienced with Agile, Lean Six Sixma, and even SAFe.
I am a Project Management Professional (PMP) with over 14 years of experience managing government acquisition projects, leading tech teams, and facilitating proposal development.
I've worked on many ship design and construction programs such as DDG 1000, LCS, FFG(X), and T-AO 205. I've also had the pleasure of working on survivability aspects of oil rigs and spars.
"Internet of Things" (IoT) has become a familiar phrase in multiple industries. I enjoy working with microcontrollers, custom electronics, and sensor data to create "smart" networks and environments.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt
