About

Hello! My name is Tony and I graduated from Amherst College with a B.A. in Statistics and Computer Science. I'm a lover of all things data science; I'm especially passionate about the weaving of analytical, rigorous code together with meaningful real-world narratives.

In the past I've worked as a research assistant in a biochemistry lab where we conducted research involving protein folding dynamics. I've also worked as a research assistant in a psychology group, focusing on research involving meaning-making through victim impact text corpora analysis.

I'm currently a Data Analyst at Questbridge, where I'm thrilled to be applying my skills and knowledge to help bridge the gap in accessibility to institutions of higher education for high-achieving FGLI students.

Feel free to browse through some of my projects and/or history below!
