Hello! I'm Spencer. Welcome to my website! I built this site as a project when I began teaching myself Python. It
came to be a perfect medium to write down some things I learned and share projects I completed while attending the
Metis
Data Science Bootcamp. Enjoy browsing around! But first, some more about me:
I previously worked for the Peace Corps in Costa Rica (Pura Vida!), and then returned and completed a data science
bootcamp with Metis. You can check out projects from that bootcamp in the
Blog section. For my final project, you can try out a model I
created to predict the likelihood of filing a successful TSA claim for damaged or lost property in the
the TSA claim prediction app.
The Site
So what is this website and why did I create it? As mentioned earlier, the primary reason for building this site was
as a learning and motivation tool. I used it to track what I learned, to keep a tech journal,
and to expand on my projects. Please note, the resume linked in the menu above was last updated at the end
of 2018! My LinkedIn page will likely have
more recent information about my professional pursuits.
I built this site in Python using the Django
framework for architecture and the Bootstrap
Content Delivery Network for support in the layout. It's deployed via Heroku.
I doubt I'll be creating websites too much more in the near future, but it's fun to
have something to show for it!
FYI, I do not expect I will be spending more time contributing to this website.
