Marcel Castro-Lima

I am a musician, creative coder, self-taught programmer, and data enthusiast based in San Francisco/USA. I am currently a Full-Stack Development student at Bay Valley Tech and I hold a CompTIA Data+ certification, a Google Advanced Data Analytics Certificate, and a Google Business Intelligence Certificate.

With eight years of demonstrated communication and problem-solving skills as a researcher and professor, I'm excited to start a career in data science. As a fast-learning and highly collaborative person, I hope to assist businesses in achieving their goals by leveraging my skills such as Data Analysis, SQL, A/B Testing, Regression Analysis, and Python Programming.
