Hello World!
Out of the infinite amount of content available on the web, you have stumbled upon a little screenshot of my life on a computer screen. Whoohoo! My name is Raymond (I go by Ray), and I created this personal website using Quarto in R Studio to show off some of the things that are important to me in my academic and professional career. Here, I am sharing some skills, experiences, and hobbies that have molded me into the nature loving, data enthusiast that I am today.
I have a graduate level background in Data Science, attaining my Masters of Environmental Science and Management (MESM) degree from the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at UC Santa Barbara and degrees in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (B.S.) and Environmental Studies (B.A.) from UC Santa Cruz. While my work has been quite diverse, I am highly skilled in utilizing geospatial analysis and modeling to solve and understand environmental isses. Some of my favorite tools to use are R/RStudio, Python, SQL, and QGIS. I enjoy various outdoor activities when not squinting my eyes at error messages.
Enjoy!
