Biography

I am a curious individual, particularly interested in data modelling, analysis and visualisation. I specialise in R and R Shiny to produce stunning applications, reports and dashboards. However, I’m no stranger to other tools such as SQL, Excel and Power BI! I’m excited to apply mathematical theoretical results in practice and learn to communicate my findings efficiently with people who may not have technical knowledge.

Staying motivated and open-minded, I constantly seek opportunities for further personal development. I believe that positive change originates in firm and well-rounded character, and by improving yourself as a human being, you impact the broader community, which leads to meaningful experiences.
