Hey there!

My name is Harry, and I'm glad you're here.

As a seasoned data scientist with over 6 years of immersive experience across diverse industries including real estate, medtech, pharmaceuticals, and fitness, I have consistently strived to push the boundaries of what data can achieve. My journey in the realm of data science has been marked by innovative projects and impactful contributions. I hold a Bachelor of Applied Science in Biochemistry and Mathematics, and a Master of Science in Bioinformatics.

Among my notable achievements, I spearheaded a groundbreaking initiative to develop a COVID map that pinpointed households most susceptible to the pandemic's socioeconomic impact. Leveraging intricate data analytics, this project provided crucial insights for targeted interventions and resource allocation during a critical time.

Additionally, I led the conception and execution of a pioneering project aimed at assessing the quality of 3D scans by analyzing the movement patterns of technicians operating the scanners. This endeavor not only enhanced training methodologies but also underscored the fusion of technology and human behavior in data-driven solutions.

I firmly believe in the pivotal role of effective communication and soft skills in data science endeavors. As a communicator, I have consistently bridged the gap between complex analytical findings and actionable insights, ensuring alignment across multidisciplinary teams. Moreover, I am passionate about instilling the importance of soft skills in data science strategy, recognizing that empathy, collaboration, and adaptability are as integral as algorithms and models.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I find solace and inspiration in the world of improvisation and stand-up comedy. This unconventional passion not only fuels my creativity but also informs my approach to mentorship and education. By infusing humor and spontaneity into my teaching, I strive to cultivate a supportive and engaging learning environment where individuals can thrive both technically and personally.

In essence, my journey as a data scientist is defined not only by technical expertise but also by a profound commitment to fostering human connection, creativity, and growth in the ever-evolving landscape of data science.
