& thank you for coming!

I wanted to personally thank each one of you for coming to celebrate my achievements with me today! This message is brought to you by a website page that I made specifically for this party to display some computer coding skills I’ve learned in my studies at UO… pretty cool right ;)

A majority of school work I did in my Master’s Program involved computer coding, which was my favorite subject. Besides creating websites out of thin air, I spent a lot of time on machine learning and prediction coding (downloading data sets, cleaning the data, and then critically analyzing it with statistics for casual relationships to inform policy makers).

My favorite class was EC 510: Big Data in Economics which involved importing large data sets through webscraping API’s and creating an incredible array of graphs with the collected data: spatial features, world map templates, and I even learned how to make interactive graphs.
