About

Hello, I'm Chase. I have 2+ years of analytics experience focusing on conducting data analysis, building dashboards and developing Python code. I've also completed machine learning projects academically and as part of my data science portfolio.


I was first exposed to analytics through athletics. As a collegiate baseball player, I recognized that statistics such as batting average do not effectively convey a player's ability, and using data from spray charts can help a team strategize defensively to win games. As I completed my Bachelor's degree at FSU, I took a Big Data course that opened my eyes to the capabilities of machine learning. My passion for sports and interest in analytics led me to join the FSU Sports Analytics Club, where I was exposed to data science technologies and applications in sports. These experiences inspired me to pursue a career in data science.


Away from work - I love to travel, golf, play basketball, and enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and camping.
