Welcome

So either you stumbled upon this page or you were directed here. In any case, welcome to the home of Robert Underwood. Obviously, I’m Robert Underwood. Let me tell you a bit about myself.

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. As class valedictorian at Oliver High School in 2005, I was expected to do great things. Then I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Sciences from Carnegie Mellon University in 2009 into the worst recession seen since the Great Depression.

Not a promising start.

Since then, I’ve bounced around in various fields. In my career, I’ve been a desk attendant, test grader, appraisal and BPO reviewer, customer service representative, and bank teller. I went with being apathetic about politics to a conservative and from being unsaved to a born-again Christian. There have been various tips and tricks that I’ve picked up along the way, some of which I hope to share. Some of those were put to the test as I completed a Master of Science in Analytics from American University.

Now that I am officially a data analyst, I hope to improve my skills to the point where I am a data scientist. I’ve come a long way from my humble beginnings, but there is a long way to go.
