My name is Kyle and I'm a plant biologist and data scientist with over 10 year of experience in research and an MS in plant genetics from The Ohio State University. I also have a background in computer science and am able to create everything from
stand alone analyses to custom interactive web applications for data exploration. I have a broad knowledge of data science, statistics, genetics and plant breeding. I think of myself as a problem solver that enjoys thinking about wide-ranging issues in crop improvement and working to develop technical solutions with a passion for technology and specifically it's application to agriculture.
