Although his political opinions may tilt one way or another depending on the topic, his quest for truth is consistently guided by data. His hands-on experience in the political realm took shape when he worked as a data scientist and machine learning intern for a political pollster in Washington D.C. for the 2022 midterm election cycle. After he completes his undergraduate in Data Science, he plans on pursuing a Masters in Artificial Intelligence. "Some people hate the very name of statistics, but I find them full of beauty and interest. Whenever they are not brutalized, but delicately handled by the higher methods, and are warily interpreted, their power of dealing with complicated phenomena is extraordinary. They are the only tools by which an opening can be cut through the formidable thicket of difficulties that bars the path of those who pursue the Science of Man" -Francis Galton
