    I got my degree in Computer Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While there I completed multiple NLP and fraud detection projects that required downloading and parsing full-text of scientific articles using REST APIs and developing machine learning models to detect when they were citing discredited research. I have worked on detecting fraudulent citation rings in academia, as well as publisher brand identity theft. I have lots of experience in scientific programming in languages like Python (NumPy, Pandas, TensorFlow, PyTorch) and MATLAB. I have lots of practice in general data science tasks like dataset discovery, data wrangling, creating new variables from existing data, building machine learning models for classification, clustering, or regression, and conducting error analysis and feature engineering. I spent two years working as a clinical trials researcher and data analyst, and having sat through many terrible academic presentations I studied how to make very compelling powerpoint presentations. I consulted for a startup on prepping their biomedical device slidedeck for investors.

    Hello, my name is Dylan Blowe and I consider myself to be a storyteller at heart and a freelance creative writer by trade. I graduated from Guilford College with a Bachelor’s degree in English and Media Studies, minoring in Community Studies, which gave me the chance to dive into all kinds of stories—from sci-fi and historical fiction to creative non-fiction, drama, suspense, and romance. I took every creative writing course I could, and each one taught me something new about how to weave words into something meaningful. Writing isn’t just something I do—it’s something I love. When I’m not working on a project, I’m usually scribbling away in my free time, building worlds and characters that feel real. Right now, I’m working on my own book, which is equal parts thrilling and terrifying, but mostly exciting. For me, storytelling is about creating something that makes people feel—whether it’s joy, nostalgia, or even a good old-fashioned plot twist. I’m all about crafting stories that stick with you long after you’ve finished reading.
