About Me

Hi! My name is Matthew McClain and I'm a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison studying Computer Science and Data Science. I'm interested in the intersection of technology and society, and I'm passionate about using technology to make the world a better place. I'm currently working a part-time job as a Metrics and Data Analyst in the Information Technology department at UW-Madison. I'm also a member of the UW-Madison Data Science Club, which organizes events and workshops for students interested in data science, in order to help them learn and grow throughout their time in school. Some of my hobbies include playing and watching sports such as basketball, football, and baseball, as well as mindless stuff like solving Rubik's Cubes.
