Data scraped with Python; minor processing done in R; graphs done with Tableau. I'll give a general shoutout to Smogon here for likely being a huge factor in me getting a job lol. Even with a graduate degree in statistics, I had essentially no work experience coming out of college and was probably not a particularly appealing applicant on paper. But I could talk about the posts I scraped from Smogon threads for various fun analyses and the signup graphs I made to show the
huge spike in signups for OST 14, and I don't think it's a coincidence that the two places that ended up giving me multiple interviews were Twitch and a mobile gaming company lol.
