I work at Nextbridge Analytics as a data scientist, and as an author with Real Python. From previous gigs I have varied experience including both electricity market modeling and high precision positioning using satellite systems like GPS. After playing with everything from Basic, Awk, Java and C to Assembly, I now get to do most of my coding in Python. Other favorites include board games, photography, square roots and skiing (preferably up-hill). In my spare time I also have the pleasure of teaching kids to code.
