I’m an applied statistician. In a broader sense, I’m also a data scientist because I do data analysis, and I do research on the methodology and computational aspects of data analysis. I’m an enthusiastic R user and package developer.
I’m also serving as Associate Editor for Journal of Statistical Software and Statistics and Computing.
