About Angela Ambroz

I\'m a data scientist, economist, and science fiction writer. I\'m also apparently* a 3D holographic projection from the 2D surface of a distant black hole - as are you! From 2007 to 2016, I worked in a number of countries (Fiji, India, Tanzania, USA) as a development economist. In 2016, I switched into data science and a career in tech. I\'m passionate about automation and efficiency, separating causal impact from correlation, and communicating technical concepts clearly and simply. I love to learn.Some specific interests- Data science (machine learning, statistics, experimentation, Bayesian analysis, data visualization/communication)- Interesting forms of data (text, images, sound)- Economics (behavioral economics, game theory, international development, financial literacy)- Computer stuff: Networks (+ network security), digital rights, programming, tech diversity, Raspberry Pis, Linux, right to repair- Science fiction, linguistics, politics, history, etc. Parlo italiano abbastanza bene (sono cresciuta bilingue), मुझे हिंदी आती है, nimejifunza kidogo Kiswahili, und habe ich einen Deutschkurs am Goethe-Institut gemacht (A1).
