Steve Kerr (smkerr)

Hi, I'm Steve and I (much like everyone else here) am passionate about using data to solve social problems. It was this passion that drove me to pursue my Master's in Data Science for Public Policy at the Hertie School in Berlin. While I had some limited experience with programming prior to enrolling, I have since developed many relevant skills that I'm eager to offer up to others.

My skillset includes R, Python, Shiny apps, dashboards, geocoding, web-scraping, machine learning (basic), image recognition, SQL, HTML/CSS, Markdown, LaTeX, and I'm continuing to add new skills to my repertoire every day. If I can be of assistance in any way, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Best, Steve
