Welcome to my website.

My name is Kivan and I am excited that you are here.

Currently, I live in Houston, Texas where I am a Data Scientist with Karna. I am also a Senior Data Scientist with Atlas Analytics and a Regional Affiliate at the University of Washington's (UW) Center for the Study of Demography and Ecology (CSDE).

I am an alum of:

• The Office of Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo: Senior Policy Advisor
• MAANA (now part of SparkCognition): Data Scientist
• Bocconi University
  • Dondena Centre for Research on Social Dynamics and Public Policy: Postdoctoral Researcher
  • The Bocconi Institute for Data Science and Analytics (BIDSA): Research Affiliate

I created this website because I want to demonstrate how data science methods power reproducible software solutions for problem solving ranging from the personal to professional. Personally, a data science skillset has helped me answer questions about passion projects such as public policy or sport. Professionally, data literacy and the ability to implement software solutions have helped me become an impactful data scientist and researcher by automating work. I hope others are interested in developing similar skills and that my corner of the internet is helpful in those pursuits.

Check out the Articles page for reproducible analyses across a broad range of topics or my CV/Resume for more information about me.
