Glen Dale Davis
I recently graduated from City University of New York School of Professional Studies with a Master of Science in Data Science. My programming, statistical data analysis, machine learning, data wrangling, communication, and data visualization skills are all strong, and I am particularly interested in customer, product, and operations insights. I would fit in well on a collaborative team that provides data-driven solutions for informing business decisions, overcoming challenging problems, avoiding risk, and taking advantage of new opportunities. Below you will find a summary of my education and work background, as well as a selection of recent data science projects that I'm proud to showcase.
