***Open to both hourly and fixed-price projects*** ***All prices are negotiable. I may give a discounted rate if you are a student or your project does not warrant my full consultation services.*** ***Please read the disclaimers below.*** Primary Services • Prepare statistical documentation of methodology and results. • Automate reoccurring reports in PDF or Microsoft Word via R Markdown. • Manage datasets, including merging, recoding, and restructuring. • Create visualizations to obtain key insights. • Develop and troubleshoot programming scripts in R and Stata.

Disclaimers: 1. My normal working days are Monday through Friday--I am open to discuss weekend availability. 2. For individuals or organizations concerned about security issues, I use Upwork by default for sending and receiving files. Encrypted email systems are recommended. Alternatively, cloud services are acceptable if they use advanced security methods (Dropbox is adequate, but The Box Sync and MEGA Sync are preferable). 3. To promote and ensure academic honesty, I do not complete work for students. This policy extends to problem sets, papers, exams, and other related assessment materials. Instead, I provide tutoring services: proofreading, critiquing papers, advice on troubleshooting statistical code, and reviewing non-exam assignments. This disclaimer extends to third parties acting on behalf of a student (i.e., parties whose clientele are students). 4. Depending on the nature of the project, I will kindly ask for co-authorship or acknowledgment for any materials that will be published publicly (e.g., white papers, academic articles, etc.). In other words, I do not "ghostwrite" for individuals nor organizations. 5. Proposal terms, estimated duration, and expected responsibilities of the project are all negotiable.
