Will Mizer
I’m a Data Science student at Florida Polytechnic University, building on an A.S. in Computer Programming & Analysis from the State College of Florida. I have a passion for clean code, clear insights, and strong communication. Outside of data, I’m a big movie fan—The Lord of the Rings trilogy is my all-time favorite.
