Hiya, I'm Tan!

I'm a self-taught programmer who loves R, Shiny, fantasy football, and carving pumpkins.

By day, I'm an engineer for Zelus Soccer. I started DynastyProcess.com and ffverse, maintain nflverse, and mentor at Data Science Learning Community.

In past lives, I have been a: residential property manager, construction data analyst, fantasy football writer, live-coding streamer, marathon rower, adult rowing coach, and more.

Away from my keyboard, I enjoy powerlifting, rowing, skiing, cooking, and hanging out with my dog Jasper.

What am I up to now?
