About Me

Hi! My name is Jonathan Andrew Pedroza PhD, but everyone calls me JP. I received my PhD in Prevention Science from the University of Oregon in 2021. My education in Prevention Science included training in program evaluation, implementation science, machine learning, inferential statistics, and survey design. I currently am a contractor for Posit Academy as a data science mentor. As a mentor, I train cohorts from organizations around the world to learn data science skills in R and Python, such as data wrangling, data visualization, functional programming, model building, and communicating results using dashboards and reports. I am open to learning more about a new field, especially since working with data from various fields with my academy cohorts.

My posts often include using R and Python for data analyses and machine learning. Some of these topics include Bayesian statistics with Stan, interactive documents, and shiny apps. When I am away from my computer, I enjoy roasting and brewing coffee, hiking, fishing, cooking, and playing with my cats. I’m currently on BlueSky for social media and infrequently check Mastodon. You can also email me at jonpedroza1228@gmail.com with any inquires.
