Glen Dale Davis
I graduated from City University of New York (CUNY) School of Professional Studies (SPS) with a Master of Science (M.S.) in Data Science in May 2024. My programming, data analysis, machine learning, and visualization skills are strong, and I am looking for a career as a data scientist. I am particularly interested in consumer and corporate insights, and I would fit in well on a team that works with many internal departments and/or external clients to provide data science solutions for modern business challenges and opportunities. Below you will find a summary of my education and work background, as well as a selection of recent data science projects I'm proud to showcase.
