Bio
Claudia Van Dijk
Ray was an insightful and brilliant problem solver as a student in the UC Berkeley Extension’s Data Visualization and Analytics bootcamp. He consistently demonstrated a solid work ethic proving himself a dedicated, self-motivated, methodical, and very capable data analyst. He was able to learn up an amazing number of new technologies blazingly fast, including Python and Pandas for ETL and data analysis, JavaScript, d3, HTML, CSS, Flask, and Leaflet for interactive visualizations and mapping, Matplotlib, Plotly, and Tableau for data viz, machine learning with several libraries for predictive analytics. Give him a challenging task, and he will get it done. He also is a warm and genuine person who brings a calm, steady confidence to project teams. I will always hold him in the highest esteem and highly recommend him.
