My name is Lukas, and I'm studying Computational Modeling & Data Analytics at Virginia Tech. Sometime in the Fall of 2019 I was getting my car fixed and had an idea for a resource that could be a help to my fellow CMDA students and aspiring data scientists like me. I wanted to help explain some of those concepts that I had found confusing and complex in my learning. I hope this website serves as a great resource for the next generation of data professionals.
I started coding when I was 15. I learned HTML, CSS, and some JavaScript and started building
simple websites for everyone I could. At the time I was actually heading for nursing school, but once I got there
I found out it was not for me. I really loved coding, so I added a CMS to my toolbox and that got me a job with a
marketing agency in Blacksburg as a software engineer doing web development. I'd also heard about a field called "applied statistics"
which turned out to be data science, and it absolutely fascinated me. I got into the CMDA at Virginia Tech, and here I am.
I still have a passion for the medical field, and am a volunteer EMT with my local rescue squad. I take every opportunity
I get to work on medical data, and in the future I would love to focus on data science in medicine and medical technology.
I hope this website is a help to you!
