In my past life I was an advertising MadMan in the making who turned to politics as a way to chase adventure. Now I'm hungry to live where technology and community intersect. I spend a bit of time trying to learn #HowTheWorldLives. Sometimes. Rejection is part of success. Letting the fear of rejection stop us from taking action is a crime against ourselves.

Sharing coding projects is a pretty cool experience. So much of it is your own creation. Very proud to have shared my #Python web scraper at #DataDonuts. Now on to data cleaning. #DataDonutsLA (at La Kretz Innovation Campus) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2hYJ1MggJj/?igshid=1wrha4qe7bk19

If you’re analyzing data, use maps to help answer “where?” Go for Census Tracts or more granular! Get away from the ZIP code none sense. #GIS #spatial #analytics (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1cmugDghaA/?igshid=1wzsg8e3aoysb

Been told I look good in green. Had a blast at #DataConLA sharing how maps & #OpenData can be tools for impact - like helping cannabis users in LA buy at licensed shops. (at University of Southern California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1SWwP5AdEU/?igshid=efva1azmexj6
