About Me |
/about/ |
I am currently the:
Open Data & Data Science Lead with
CA Dept of Technology's Office of Digital Innovation
A fancy way of saying I love opening data and finding ways we can apply Data Science to make California better! More to come on this soon..!
Project List
- CA Open Data Portal (open source DKAN) Launch
- OSI EBT ATM Finder, via batch geocoding API
In the past (2014-2016) I have been a Data Science Research Specialist with the State of California Department of Health Care Services, reporting on the progress of Medi-Cal and the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The core of what I did was finding new ways to answer previously un-answerable questions regarding the Medi-Cal population of California using tools such as SAS server, Teradata, Python and SQL. I studied supvervised Machine Learning models using Octave, to classify populations using existing Medi-Cal data.
I am interested in opportunities to explore and visualize new data sets, especially pertaining to Open Data, Health Care, Government Technology and Civic Innovation. Please feel free to e-mail requests to collaborate or for article opportunities!
