Hello, I'm Matthew Dannenberg, a mathematician and data scientist with a Ph.D. in Mathematics and several years of experience teaching, modeling complex systems, and building data pipelines. I have strong technical skills in Python (Pandas, Scikit-learn, NumPy, SciPy, Statsmodels), PostgreSQL, and AWS, along with expertise in statistical analysis, geospatial data, and machine learning. My recent work includes building end-to-end analytical workflows and predictive models for environmental and climate-related datasets. I'm motivated to volunteer because I want to use my technical skills to directly benefit communities and address pressing social challenges. After years in academia, I'm eager to apply rigorous analysis to real-world problems where the impact is tangible and measurable. I'm particularly interested in projects involving environmental data, public health, resource allocation, or civic systems. I work well in collaborative settings, value clear communication, and enjoy translating technical findings into actionable insights for diverse stakeholders. I'm flexible on time commitment and open to both short-term analytical projects and longer-term initiatives where I can contribute meaningfully. My goal is to build a portfolio of impactful work while learning from experienced practitioners and contributing to projects that make a genuine difference. Best, Matthew Dannenberg
