Welcome to My Website!
This project began as a demonstration for my students, showcasing the capabilities of R and Quarto in creating dynamic, interactive web content. However, it has evolved into much more – a comprehensive repository of my professional journey, research interests, and technical skills. This site now serves as a living portfolio, reflecting my current work, passions, and capabilities. From my research in AI and data analytics to my teaching initiatives in coding education, you’ll find a snapshot of my ongoing projects and achievements.
As this is my first draft, completed during the winter break, I’m eager for feedback and suggestions to enhance the site further. I hope you enjoy exploring my digital space and gaining insights into my professional world. Your input is valuable in helping me refine and improve this platform, making it not just a personal showcase, but also a resource for students, colleagues, and collaborators alike.
