About

Salem, a young adult with silver hair, heart-shaped glasses, and a round face.

Welcome to my portfolio! I am an enthusiastic and detail-oriented data science enthusiast on a continuous learning journey. Currently immersed in studying Python, R, and SQL, I am poised to broaden my skill set further with upcoming ventures into Tableau, PowerBI, and AWS.

Beyond data science, I actively engage in side projects that extend into the realms of web development and design, app development and design, and modding in various games. These endeavors allow me to explore diverse facets of technology and broaden my horizons within the digital landscape.

Away from the screen, I find joy in gaming, navigating the possibilities of Notion, immersing myself in the great outdoors, and expressing my creativity through fiber arts. Join me on this multifaceted journey as I combine my passion for data science with a diverse range of skills and interests.
