About

I'm a Data Scientist at WGU LABS.

Best quote to describe me: "What does not kill me makes me whinier".
Best sports achievment: 12 points (in 12 minutes) during a high school basketball game which made the opposition coach shout - "stop letting that midget score on you".
Best life achievment: My son dominating his pre-K soccer league.

Why is it called DoingTheDishes? Because when I asked my wife to help me with a name she said - how about you do the dishes instead.
Why is some code deprecated? I started this blog with python 2 and wrote my own package to read the data from the NBA API and do the plotting. The package has not been updated to python 3.
A few changes have been made with the new code:

  • Using python 3
  • Getting data from the NBA API with nba_api
  • Interactive plotting with Tableau instead of Bokeh
