Welcome to my GitHub profile! I'm a passionate Data Scientist and former Master Teacher with over a decade of experience at the intersection of education, policy, and data science. 🎓📊

"Chrzan" is pronounced "chr" like chirp and "zen" like the state of mind.

I specialize in leveraging cutting-edge machine learning, predictive modeling, causal inference, and natural language processing to tackle real-world challenges in K–12 education and beyond. Currently, I work at the Center for Educational Data Science and Innovation (EDSI), where I focus on using AI to support equitable outcomes in teaching and learning, scenario modeling for school closure policies, and the ethical application of AI in education. 🤖✨

My journey has taken me through impactful research roles, EdTech environments, and hands-on teaching at K–12 and university levels. I’m deeply committed to using data science to create fairer, smarter educational systems. 🌍📚

• Projects applying AI and machine learning to improve educational equity 🎯
• Predictive models forecasting school closures and shaping policy 📈
• Natural language processing tools analyzing community feedback and educational data 🗣️
• Scenario generation algorithms to help schools make data-driven decisions 🔍
• Explorations on bias reduction in AI and ethical AI innovation ⚖️
• Research supporting strategic education policy and impactful EdTech products 🏫

R, Python, SQL, PyTorch, Pandas, Tidyverse, PostgreSQL, deep learning frameworks, and statistical modeling techniques such as linear regression, IRT, and causal inference. 🛠️💻

I've been working on improving my sfotware development and MLOps skills as well as wanting to learn more about Graph Neural Networks, Social Network Analysis, and Neuroeconomics!

• I was a Master Teacher and math instructor, mentoring future educators and designing project-based learning frameworks. 🎓📐
• I enjoy gaming—both video and tabletop—as well as diving into data simulation and AI bias reduction. 🎲🎮
• I've been honored with awards including the Dean’s Fellowship at Stanford and scholarships like the Gates Millennium and Coca-Cola Scholars. 🏆

Feel free to explore my repositories, where I share research projects, educational tools, and code that bridges data science and education. Whether you're an educator, researcher, policymaker, or fellow data enthusiast, I hope my work inspires and empowers you! 🚀
