Hello, my name is Joshua Van Rossum. I am a first year graduate student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, working towards my master's degree in Computer Science. I'm focusing my studies on machine learning and in my spare time, I have begun developing a site for NBA fans to create their own custom NBA statistics for ranking and comparing their favorite basketball players. To hone my data science and machine learning skills, I participate in online data science competitions through Kaggle. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball and solving puzzles like sudokus, crosswords or Rubik's cubes.
