👋 Welcome to my corner of the internet

Hi, I'm Benjamin Boughton

Data Analyst

I'm passionate about leveraging data for good. From analytics to engineering, I'm on a mission to channel the power of data, ML, and AI into positive change for the world.

About Me

I live at the intersection of data and impact. Whether I'm analyzing risk patterns, building experimentation frameworks, or engineering analytics pipelines, my north star is using data as a force for good.

In this age of data, ML, and AI, we face a critical choice: will we use these powerful tools to amplify our worst vices or channel them toward meaningful, positive change? I choose the latter.

When I'm not diving deep into datasets, you'll find me diving deep into the ocean or perfecting my pour-over technique with specialty coffee.

All About Data

Beyond the Data

Coffee Enthusiast

From bean selection to brew methods, I'm obsessed with the art and science of coffee. Pour-over, espresso, cold brew—each cup is an experiment in extraction and flavor.

Scuba Diving

There's something magical about exploring underwater worlds. Scuba diving teaches patience, respect for nature, and the importance of staying calm under pressure—skills that translate surprisingly well to data work.

Data for Good

We stand at a crossroads in the age of data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. The tools we're building are incredibly powerful, and with that power comes responsibility. I'm committed to ensuring we use these technologies to create positive change, to lift people up, and to solve real problems that matter. Let's build a future we can be proud of.
