My name is Erik Cowley. This site is my portfolio for personal projects, mainly on the topic of data science.

I currently work as an engineer at ScienceLogic, where I develop Python software for monitoring servers and switches. Previously I worked as a teaching assistant at BloomTech (formerly known as Lambda School), helping students learn data science, computer science, and Python development. My other professional experience includes Python backend development, frontend development with knockout.js, and Java development. (My resume in pdf form).

The website name “stromsy” is derived from “Straumsey” (meaning “stormy seas”), which was the name of an island encountered by Leif Erikson. It is mentioned in The Saga of Erik the Red.
