I have my masters in mathematics with a focus in data science. I also hold undergraduate degrees in mathematics and computer science.I am heavily involved in mathematics research, specifically its applications for detecting and quantifying gerrymandering in congressional districting maps. I am also a data scientist for CAE- USDA, helping create models to detect fraud, waste, and abuse. I also manage my teams compute and development platform and act as devops engineer where I develop and maintain our kubernetes cluster. I use this to deploy our jupyterhub instance, as well as our Apache Spark cluster, which spawns master and worker pods as needed built from docker images I've created for different jobs processing data or running/building different ML models.I enjoy researching and development, and look forward to continuing my journey in these fields.github: github.com/psward
