About
Hi, I'm Michael
I'm a data scientist with a deep commitment to place-based social impact work. For over [X] years, I've worked in the nonprofit sector, using data to help communities understand themselves and drive meaningful change.
My work sits at the intersection of data science, geography, and social justice. I believe that good data work isn't just about technical skills—it's about understanding community context, centering equity, and building tools that genuinely serve the people who use them.
What I Do
I specialize in building interactive maps, dashboards, and data products that make complex information accessible and actionable. Whether it's helping a community organization understand neighborhood change, or building a tool for residents to find local resources, I focus on creating solutions that meet real needs.
