Hi I'm Alex Lark, a data scientist and game developer with experience in data structures, database management, artificial intelligence, app design, social media, and story creation. I'm passionate about solving problems and expressing my creativity through programming, and am eager to use my knowledge in machine learning and coding to meaningfully impact how games are developed and to solve real-world problems through data science.
