Aaron Reed Email & Phone Number

Hey! I'm Aaron. I'm a scientist through and through. Even when I was a child, I was always learning everything I could. More than the what I cared for the why and how since understanding the underlying factors makes recreating the phenomenon possible.I've never stopped learning. I was in Academic Team all through high school and continued to play played in college. I was able to become the 19th ranked player in the nation. If you don't know what Academic Team is, think Jeopardy but with teams. Our team went to Nationals twice and even beat Yale and Notre Dame.I am trained in many analytical techniques -- think Abby from NCIS but without her aesthetic -- and strive to use my knowledge to help everyone I can. After attaining significant skill in scientific method and experimental design, I turned my focus to coding. More specifically, I trained to be a Data Scientist. Currently, I'm doing what I can to use that knowledge to make small but significant changes to reduce systemic injustices. Things seemingly small can have large ripple effects, like mortgage loan approval rates, so any changes that are made might also have ripple effects. My current project is to focused on looking at various factors that go into sentencing at trials and try to find what changes can be made that might help reduce the prison population and reduce the many problems associated thereby."All information is useful; it's merely the context that changes" is a line I've taken to heart. I will always continue to learn and work to find the context to make it useful. Currently, those contexts are experience coding in Python and HTML and training to analyze data from GC/MS, AAS, HPLC, LC/MS/MS, pH, conductivity, and viscosity, and mastery of experimental design, but if you have any recommendations, I'm always looking to add more skills to my repertoire.Whether it's determining chemical composition of a sample, building a model to determine energy efficiency and subsequent cost of a house, or something as small as creating a welcoming tournament for people to play Magic: the Gathering at, I will never stop moving forward.
