I’m a mathematics student focused on data science. I use statistics, code, and visualization to find patterns and explain what they mean.
NICK HINKEL · AUSTIN, TXA LITTLE INTRODUCTION
I’m a mathematics student at UT Austin, pursuing a minor in Statistics & Data Science and a certificate in Programming & Computation.
I work with data from the first question through the final result: building datasets, writing SQL and Python, testing models, and creating visualizations that make findings easier to explore. My CS2 and wildfire projects show that process in action. I also build websites, which you can explore below.
See data projectsData analysis, modeling, and visualization are the focus of my recent work, alongside automation and engineering projects.
DATA ANALYTICS · COUNTER-STRIKE 2
An analytics pipeline for professional Counter-Strike 2 rounds, taking raw Parquet data through PostgreSQL and Python into a Tableau dashboard. It explores map advantage, opening kills, bomb plants, trades, and match outcomes.
DATA VISUALIZATION · MACHINE LEARNING
Exploring the relationship between environmental conditions and burned area in Montesinho Natural Park, Portugal. The dashboard compares features, clustering, model results, and feature importance.
INTERACTIVE DATA · THE ODYSSEY
A hand-built dataset connects prominent characters and places from the Odyssey. Interactive maps, a character network, and an animated journey make the relationships explorable.
WEB AUTOMATION · CONTENT SYSTEM
A menu workflow linking Google Sheets, Google Cloud, GitHub, and Webflow so a business can update its website from one spreadsheet.
ENGINEERING · GROUP PROPOSAL
A proposal for an electromagnetic monorail across campus, including route planning, a SolidWorks model, a 3D printed maglev, and cost estimates.
From classroom projects to business sites, each one starts with a different problem to solve.
