Hello,
my name is Chris and this is my resume

About Me

Seasoned digital marketing professional with a focus in search marketing, mobile user acquisition, & data analysis. Most recently, I attended the Data Analytics Bootcamp at UC Berkeley Extension, where I took a deep dive into Python, pandas, MySQL, VBA, & machine learning. I'm looking to meet & network with other creatives who are interested in data analytics, machine learning, crazy startup ideas, and other fun stuff.
