Hello,
I'm Michael Walker
Phone: 703-855-5589
As a mathematics graduate from the University of Virginia, I have a strong foundation in probability, statistics, and data science. I am passionate about applying my skills and knowledge to solve real-world problems and create value for businesses and society.
​
I have gained hands-on experience in data analysis, machine learning, and programming through my academic projects and my work as a lead instructor at Mathnasium, where I managed a team of instructors, improved student outcomes, and generated new clients. I am proficient in Python, R, and SQL, and familiar with TensorFlow, SciKit-Learn, Pandas, and Numpy. I am also interested in learning new technologies and tools to enhance my data science capabilities.
I am looking for employment opportunities in data science, statistics, and data analytics, where I can leverage my skills, learn from others, and contribute to meaningful projects. I am dependable, hardworking, and eager to grow as a data scientist. I can be reached at MichaelWalker@email.virginia.edu.
