Matt Kowalczyk Email & Phone Number

Highly motivated research professional and aspiring data scientist who enjoys automating processes and seeing the product of research projects. With four years of professional work experience in subject recruitment, data collection & management, and research design, I have developed an appreciation of the collaborative effort that is essential in completing research projects. With two years of professional work experience in coding, data wrangling, data visualization, and running analyses, I thoroughly enjoy crafting cohesive data narratives. Self-taught programmer in R & Python, I thoroughly enjoy coding and making my life easier through automating processes. I am currently a graduate student at Georgia Tech who is studying modern and up-to-date data analytical tools. I enjoy teaching myself new techniques, packages, and approaches to data in my spare time. A little more about myself: I have two cats who are brothers, Ash & Lucario. I love to express myself through music as well as compose my own music. I've been playing the guitar since I was 10 and I am a self-taught singer. I find that my interest in crafting creative data narratives stems from my passion for music; there is just something deeply meaningful and satisfying in creative expression and then sharing it with others, whether it be an original song, a crafty ggplot or a unique optimization model.I look forward to connecting with you!
