Last week three friends and I competed in the 2022 Citadel Data Open Championship, the "largest and most prestigious university-level data science competition in the world". Yesterday, our team was excited to be named the competition's champions.

I am greatful to Eszter Morvay for the support she provided. Eszter Morvay.
