Hi! My name is Ryan Berry and I'm a Junior at UMass Dartmouth. Currently, I'm pursuing a double major in Data Science and Computer Science, with plans to stick around for another year to receive a Master's in Data Science
UMass D's 2023 DataFest Team
My interest in science is derived from my love for all things math. Breaking down a complex problem is an ideal way to pass time in my eyes. On campus, I'm a leader in the Big Data Club where we talk about all things data science-related. We also participate in a competition among colleges every spring which is always the highlight of my academic year.

I also have a love for video games and have been playing them competitively for over 6 years now. I've played in many online tournaments and some in-person events and have even won a couple (we tend to get third and it's a running meme). At the moment, I'm also the captain of UMass D's Splatoon eSports Team as well as being a member of my original team, Stargaze, outside of school.

One of my other hobbies is music, both playing and listening. I'm a percussion player to my core and pride myself in playing mallet percussion like the xylophone, marimba, vibraphone, and chimes. I was in the band throughout middle and high school and spent a lot of time outside of high school practicing and going to marching band competitions. I'm not in a band at the moment, but I still like to practice alone in my free time.
