Welcome to my new blog! My name is Ryan Heslin, and I’ve just graduated with a master’s degree in data science from American University. As I do for most of my side projects, I’ve defined goals for this one. Naturally, I’ve made those goals sound just compelling enough that I can plausibly deny that working on this thing is procrastination.
Those goals are:
- Engage with the wider R community.
- Share some of the R esoterica I’ve learned
- Learn a web framework, as a first step toward more sophisticated web design
- Practice writing, which I find satisfies me the same way coding does
I plan to mostly write about R and other data science topics, though I might broaden scope later on. If you’ve found your way here, I hope at least you’re entertained for a little while.
