Introduction To Me!

Hello! My name is Andrew McCurrach. I am a graduate student studying to become a data scientist. I grew up in the Akron Ohio area and my family runs an Equestrian Farm in Plain City Ohio. I love animals and even traveled to Greece to volunteer at an animal shelter for a month last year! In the summer I like to golf and in the winter I like to snowboard.

Professional Background

I am currently a full time graduate student increasing my analytical skillset as well as business acumen. I have previously worked as a business advisor for an Colter Equestrian and before that was an associate banker for PNC.

Experience with RStudio

Through Ohio State’s college Engineering I have taken an online class that revolved around doing analysis through RStudio. It is a very practical program to do all sorts of analysis on a data set, and very user friendly. The class was titled: “Introductory Statistics for Data Analytics.”

Experience with Python

Similar to my experience with RStudio, I took a class through Ohio State’s college of Engineering titled: “Data Mining.” This class focused on python programming, specifically the Anaconda environment with Jupyter Notebook. Python is a very powerful all-purpose programming language that can be utilized in countless ways to analyze data. It was particularly useful in clustering data into groups and further analyzing those groups or clusters.
