Outside of being a nerd, I swim quite a bit for my club and high school teams. In my free time I like to shoot photos, it’s a hobby of mine, and every once in a while I’ll shoot for the Chicago Union, our local pro ultimate frisbee team.\n\nI work as a Data Science Fellow at VoteHub, mostly on racecall and the occasional election model. I originally came on to help with our midterm model, including a small program that normalizes Kalshi odds.","location":"Evanston, United States"},"work":{"current_role":"Data Science Fellow","current_company":"VoteHub","recent_companies":["VoteHub","YWCA","Evanston Fire Department","Daniel Biss for Congress (IL-9)"]},"skills":["Election Forecasting","Prediction Markets","Data Journalism","Machine Learning","Statistical Modelling","Campaign Finance Analysis","Topographic Mapping","LLM Fine-tuning"],"projects":[{"title":"IL9Cast","description":"A forecasting aggregator for the IL-9 Democratic primary combining prediction markets, polling, and fundraising data.","url":"https://il9.org/"},{"title":"FUNDY","description":"A Bayesian model predicting candidates' end-of-quarter fundraising from daily itemized FEC data.","url":null},{"title":"Seiche","description":"A live model forecasting Lake Michigan water temperature using quantile gradient-boosting models.","url":null},{"title":"Manifold Prediction Market Trader","description":"Active trader ranked in the top 50 by volume and top 0.25% by profit.","url":null}],"education":[{"degree":"High School Diploma","field":null,"school":"Evanston Township High School","start":"2024-01-01","end":"2028-01-01"}],"links":{"profile":"https://path.cv/rmccomb","custom_domain":null,"same_as":["https://mccomb.ca/"]}}
