πŸ“š Storyteller-Turned-Scientist πŸ”¬

Hello! I'm Ben, a storyteller-turned-scientist at the intersection of data, systems, and people.

My background is in telling stories:

  • πŸ›Ά Helping my family run whitewater rafting tours
  • πŸ“š Finding books as a librarian
  • πŸ›Œ Over the past six years, creating memorable guest experiences as a hotelier

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.

What I Do

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
