About Me

My name is Jesse Keller. I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska and obtained BA degrees in both Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Shortly after graduating, I pursued a MA in mathematics education to make a difference in childrens’ lives, while also hopefully helping them enjoy a subject which many of them struggle to enjoy which is near and dear to my heart. After a few years in the profession, however, I decided my main passion is in understanding complicated patterns and explaining said patterns to others. Data Analytics presented itself as one such avenue for pursuing this interest for me.

Coding Experience/R Experience

As a CS/Mathematics double major, I have experience in a variety of languages/technologies relevant to data analytics, including in R, Python, and excel. Throughout my Statistics class I took, R was the primary language we used in performing statistics calculations (ie, finding mean, median, mode, SD, Var, and CDFs for various distributions). However, stats did not give me a lot of experience collecting, wrangling, or creating visualizations for large data sets. I am excited to learn more about these topics in this class, and in others to come.
