🌊 Hi, I'm Hersh!

🏛️⚡ Empowering Public Entities with Data and Technology

I'm passionate about leveraging data science and advanced technology to enhance public services, improve government operations, and positively impact the lives of residents and constituents.

🏢 Current Role

I currently work with the Chief Data Officer in the District of Columbia, where I contribute to data-driven initiatives that shape the District's future.

🌱 Current Focus

I'm a versatile public sector data professional with skills spanning the entire data lifecycle. Here's what I'm currently working on and interested in:

  • 🏗️ Building robust cloud data infrastructure
  • 🔄 Implementing ETL pipelines, monitoring systems, and ensuring data integrity
  • 📊 Developing and implementing data strategy, governance, and policy frameworks
  • 📈 Advancing statistical analysis and data visualization techniques
  • 🗺️ Innovating in spatial data management and analytics
  • 🤖 Exploring applications of machine learning and AI in public service delivery
  • 📚 Creating data literacy programs for government employees
  • 🔗 Collaborating on open data initiatives and cross-agency data projects
  • 🔮 Using predictive analytics to enhance government services

💡 My Philosophy

I believe that data has the power to transform public services and decision-making. By harnessing the potential of data and technology, we can:

  • Enhance efficiency in government operations
  • Improve transparency and accountability
  • Drive evidence-based policy-making
  • Create innovative solutions to complex urban challenges

🎤 Teaching & Sharing Knowledge

I'm committed to sharing knowledge and fostering data literacy:

  • Guest lecturer at American University and Georgetown University on public data science
  • Chair of DC's Data Literacy Subcommittee
  • Organizer of government-wide data science meetings and hackathons

🤝 Let's Connect!
