Bio

I’m an analyst at Catalist, where I work on polling and modeling voter behavior in the cloud. I have a Master’s degree in Political Science from American University, where I studied the legislative process and predicting elections. I’ve worked in polling for the DCCC and data acquisition for the non-profit Investigative Reporting Workshop.

Projects

  • /models-markets - Comparing probabilistic predictions of elections
  • /campfin - Exploring and normalizing campaign finance data
  • /metro - Requesting WMATA public transit data from an API
  • /fflr - Requesting ESPN fantasy football data from an API
  • /usa - New-ish facts and figures about the United States
  • /k5 - Personal package for interactive programming
