About Wendy Sanchez-Vaynshteyn

STEM lover and enthusiast. Biomedical engineer turned data scientist with a passion to explore, problem solve, teach and grow. I am currently seeking for an environment where I can hone my skills in data science, software and hardware interface with the likes of Arduinos, Raspberry Pi\'s and learn more about robotics and AI in general. I am fond of group projects, pair programming and giving and receiving kind and actionable feedback. I love collaborating in ideas that can potentially revolutionize tech in general and encourage the involvement of minorities and children in tech.
