Education/Work Background
Hello!
My name is Matt, I’m in the online CSMS program and I’m an aspiring Software Engineer or potentially Data Scientist. I did my undergraduate degree at UMass as well as a Math major. I was originally planning to be an actuary, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the work, so I decided to go back to school to pursue a CS degree, and it was a great decision.
My work background is limited to internships thus far, starting with an Actuarial Science internship at John Hancock during my undergraduate degree, and this year I interned as a Software Engineer at a GPS company called TomTom, and Staples.
R experience
I have a fair bit of R experience from taking Stat 525, where most of the homeworks were done using R as well as our final project.
Research interests
For this course, I’d be primarily interested in researching time series data related to the Stock Martket, inerest rates, or inflation rates. I am also an avid sports fan so I would love to reseach NFL or MLB data.
Hometown
I am originally from Weymouth, MA
Hobbies
Playing Chess or Golf, Listening to Music, Fantasy Sports, Exploring Cities and trying restaurants and bars.
Fun fact
A fun fact about me is that I have 3 Golden Retrievers
