Hello! I'm Ben, a storyteller-turned-scientist at the intersection of data, systems, and people.
My background is in telling stories:

Along every step of my journey, the stories I created and told entertained, educated, and inspired people.
Now, I turn my story-telling talents to a new career focused on telling the stories hidden in data.
I have a passion for learning and leveraging data and systems for insights and decision-making.
- Obtaining and cleaning data
- Creating visualizations to see and share the stories
- Developing and training machine learning models to understand the whys and hows behind the data
- Suggesting improvements and changes to adapt to the stories hidden in the data
