About Me

Data Science Graduate from UMass Amherst

Hello! I'm Nicholas Maynard, a recent graduate with a B.S. in Data Science from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I'm passionate about data analysis, machine learning, and developing insights that drive decision making.

My academic journey has equipped me with strong technical skills and analytical thinking, which I've applied in various projects and during my internship at NT Concepts where I worked on machine learning models to detect adversarial attacks on data.

I am currently seeking opportunities where I can contribute my skills to meaningful projects and continue growing as a data professional.
