Completing My M.S. in Data Science at UVA
AUGUST 10, 2026 · Career
I've completed my Master's in Data Science at the University of Virginia School of Data Science. I'm proud of this one.
What I learned
The program gave me the foundations I was missing: the theory behind machine learning and AI, and concepts I'd only worked with informally before, like deep learning and Bayesian methods. It doesn't show up directly in a finished project, but it's there in how I approach every one I build now.
What's next
Coursework is done. Learning isn't. I want to take what I studied out of the classroom and into my own projects, and eventually into a full-time role where I'm applying it every day.
