Niels Garve - web developer
Over the past six years I have gained extensive experience in web development. Currently, I work as a freelance senior web developer for different companies and projects.
I am learning data science fundamentals, key data science tools, and Python for data science in different programs created, for example, by Microsoft and IBM (see the Certifications and Education section of this CV).
This is why I am now really enthusiastic about data science and its combination with web development to build future-proof software.
