# Writings
Below you can find my writings on machine learning, data science, and
technology. Enjoy!
- [SWITRS: Differences in Vehicle Collision Rates by Manufacturer During COVID-19](/blog/switrs-ford-vs-toyota-during-covid-19/): California was put under a stay-at-home order in March, 2020. Toyota drivers stayed home, Ford drivers did not; why?!
- [Plotting the 2021 Tour de France](/blog/2021-tour-de-france-plot/): The 2021 Tour de France turned out much differently from last year's edition! See exactly how it unfolded in this post.
- [SWITRS: Increase In Traffic Fatalities After COVID-19 Lock Down](/blog/switrs-covid-19-lockdown-fatal-traffic-collisions/): California was put under a stay-at-home order in March, 2020. As expected, traffic volume decreased, but what happened to rate of fatal accidents? They skyrocketed!
- [The Data Science Spectrum:
From Analyst to Machine Learning](/blog/data-science-job-spectrum/): Data science has left the era of the Unicorn and entered the era of the team, but that means there is now a whole spectrum of data science jobs. Here is what they do.
- [The Data Science Split:
From Unicorns to Teams](/blog/the-data-science-split/): When data science started the job covered everything from setting up databases to running experiments to making models. But finding Unicorns was impossible; something had to give.
- [Where to Host Public Datasets?](/blog/where-to-host-public-datasets/): When I released the SWITRS dataset, I had to find a place to host a 5 Gig dataset. Here is what I learned.
- [Jupyter Notebook Templates for Data Science: Plotting Time Series](/blog/data-science-timeseries-plotting-notebook-template/): Jumpstart your time series visualizations with this Jupyter plotting notebook!
- [Making Custom Markdown for Github Pages](/blog/custom-markdown-for-github-pages/): I love Markdown, I take all my notes in it and write my blog in it. But sometimes you want to create new syntax; read on to find out how!
- [Data Science Interview Practice: Machine Learning Case Study](/blog/data-science-interview-prep-case-study/): A common interview type for data scientists and machine learning engineers is the ML case study. Read on for an example of how I solve them!
- [Data Science Interview Practice: Data Manipulation](/blog/data-science-interview-prep-data-manipulation/): I often get asked how to practice data science interviews, so here is a practice dataset with a set of questions to answer. Good luck!
