About
Hi! I’m Jonathan. I’m a data scientist who dabbles in web development, Bayesian Statistics, Reinforcement Learning, and #dataviz. Some (not so) fun facts about me:
- I’m from Orlando, FL, and I get asked if I go to Disney a lot more times than I’ve been to Disney.

- I’m a sushi lover (and chef) who is slightly concerned about consuming too much mercury.
- I have the cutest cat ever, Tucker “Tux” Trattner.
