Hey! đź‘‹ I'm David Holcer, a Math and Computer Science enthusiast currently in my last semester at McGill University in Montreal, QC. I am interested in the world of data science, generative art, and front-end development. I'm constantly looking for new technologies to learn and implement within my personal projects.
đź“Ť Here are some of my current endeavours:
🤖 Data Science & AI: As a Data Science Researcher, I am innovating with next-gen techniques around social media bot creation and detection. I’m dedicated to exploring the impact of artificial intelligence in both applied and experimental contexts.
🎨 Generative Art & Design: I love creating art through code. Teaching p5.js workshops and sharing interactive visualizations has been incredibly fulfilling—I get to blend creativity with math and tech, showing people just how expressive we can be with code. Generative art has become a core part of my journey, where p5.js, JavaScript, and Processing allow me to bring data-driven visualizations and abstract ideas to life.
👨‍💻 Software Development: I’ve developed sentiment analysis tools, playlist cover art generators, and interactive storytelling platforms, all powered by advanced APIs and my coding expertise. Bringing unique ideas to life through code is my favourite kind of challenge.
Why I Do It: I’ve become captivated by the connection between creativity and technology. Finding those little sparks of eureka in writing clean code, modelling a concept with mathematical formulas, or learning an intriguing new data science algorithm keeps me hooked. I search for meaning and connections between seemingly unrelated concepts and aim to bridge them through exploration and experimentation.
🌟 Experience Highlights:
Tutoring & Teaching: I have helped over 20 students become proficient in mathematics and computer science from Calculus to Linear Algebra, I enjoy spreading my joy in learning complex concepts. Research: My bioinformatics research on DNA data compression employing a novel Markov Chain clustering algorithm. Projects: From Coverify.ai to StoryWeaver.ai, my project portfolio reflects my commitment to developing dynamic front-end solutions, creating data visualizations, and enhancing user experiences with innovative APIs. Fun Facts: When I’m not coding, you’ll find me cooking something new, climbing, playing the piano, snapping photos, or enjoying a quick game of chess.
