Data Science Portfolio

Hi, I’m Sammy – Data Scientist and Researcher. My portfolio is a collection of recent data science projects - emphasis on data processing and analysis, machine learning, business problem solving, and programming. My statistics and research expertise comes from my PhD in Sociology, which also equips me with a unique perspective on social trends and patterns, crucial for interpreting social dynamics with data that are invaluable for predicting consumer behavior, identifying market trends, and addressing issues of equity and inclusion.
