R Bites
R finds a way…
This is where I upload articles on small projects I’ve done. At first it was just for R, but I started branching out!
See my Github for more projects.
Note: All writing is my own— I never use AI to help with my writing. Projects marked with * are vibe-coded; the rest are all coded by hand. Both are important skills!
