Personal Ratings are given for each skill out of Five Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My primary programming language, I have been working with it for 7 years now. I am comfortable with building Jupyter Notebook and the entire SciPy Stack (Numpy, Matplotlib, Pandas, etc.).
I used this language extensively in graduate school as my first introduction to object-oriented programming, I built a usable plugin that was essential to my dissertation project. I have used it sparingly since finishing my PhD in 2017.
