 
 Tracing the Currents: From Flows to Data Centers
A data storytelling project exploring whether America's growing network of data centers is truly straining the power grid, or if the story in the numbers points to something more complex.
I'm an engineer pursuing my Master's in Artificial Intelligence at Duke, where I'm expanding a decade of software experience into the world of data and machine learning. Throughout my career, I've developed an extremely strong intuition of being able to quickly architect systems.
