👋 About Me
Hello! My name is Ryan Webster and I'm a recent graduate from Virginia Tech, where I earned dual B.S. degrees in Statistics and Computational Modeling & Data Analytics, along with minors in Computer Science and Mathematics. My academic background has given me a solid foundation in data science, statistical reasoning, and algorithmic thinking. I'm passionate about using data not just to crunch numbers, but to uncover meaningful insights that drive decision-making. Whether it's building predictive models, developing interactive dashboards, or exploring real-world problems through simulation, I enjoy the challenge of turning raw data into actionable solutions.
