1. Building up my quantitative portfolio for some clients: this includes using SQL to get participant lists and R to generate reports and statistical analyses.2. A master's degree in information science from CUNY Queens.3. Pro-bono work for Code for America, Technology Empowerment Lab, and Food4Life.4. Printmaking and freaking out about the FIFA World Cup being hosted in my hometown (Atlanta).
