Hello world! My name is John. I studied Computer Science as a first-generation undergraduate. Today, I’m a learning scientist who’s interested in making data science learning more playful (with games and role-playing) and self-reflective! Outside of work, I enjoy hitting the gym, exploring nature, trying new places to eat, and playing Nintendo Switch 2 games! Happy to chat during office hours or over email.

Hi, I’m JP! I’m excited to be teaching you all coding this semester! I am a prevention scientist that focuses on developing early identification systems for prevention and intervention of health disparities and education. In my free time, I enjoy everything about coffee (e.g., roasting), cooking, hiking, fishing, and gardening. Come to office hours if you want to chat.
