Hi there, I'm Amit 👋
I'm a bicultural environmental engineer turned data director and data science educator and speaker. I use R for most things, sometimes even correctly! I believe in diversity and have spent my entire 20+ year career working to improve this world or the lives of the people that live in it.
- 🔭 I’m currently too busy for personal projects :( But the next one will be looking at land prices in the UK (wanna help?)
- 🌱 I’m currently learning better ETL tools (but really need to learn Baysian inference)
- 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on COVID-19 or #BlackLivesMatter initiatives. Contact me, I'm willing to volunteer!
- 💬 Ask me about United Nations, International Development, NGOs, charities, teaching and anything R!
- 📫 How to reach me: data@amitkohli.com or see other social networks below.
- 😄 Pronouns: He
- ⚡ Fun fact: I just heard that my love of analyzing movies and video games means I don't get to enjoy them :-\
