Paul Yzaguirre
Data Analyst & Project Specialist based in Los Angeles, CA
Thank you for visiting my webpage! I've always had a driving sense of inquisitiveness, and it led me to the field of data science and analytics. I'd venture to say that everyone, everywhere has questions that need answering...and if not, then perhaps some insight into figuring out good questions!I'd love to do my part in helping you and/or your organization navigate that journey.
A bit About Me
Although my interest in analytics began with my undergraduate education in economics, my recent efforts have focused on the technical side of data science.
My analytical capabilities center primarily on Python, R, and SQL for their incredible flexibility when investigating, wrangling, or evaluating almost any manner of data, and I'm equally comfortable with Excel when it comes to more traditional use cases.
It's always great to have an opportunity to add new tools to my toolbox, and so I embrace learning any new or proprietary processes your organization employs.
