MAHDI SHADKAM-FARROKHI

As a seasoned STEM educator and curriculum developer, I employ growth mindset and computational thinking to approach problems systematically. Data science has given me the opportunity to combine my background in web development with my passion as an educator to empower those around me to better understand the "how" and the "why" behind data.
