Welcome to my online CV! My name is Joseph Calarco and I am a first year student at McMaster University. I have a strong interest in data science, with the exponential growth of data available to the general populace the possibilities of this field are immense. As a strong believer that there is much to learn from the human mind that can be applied to computer science, I am seeking to pursue a secondary major in psychology. I strive to learn as much as I can about programming, design, and how we interact with the digital world, and to apply this knowledge where it is needed
