About Me
My name is Peter Maximilian Fortunato.
I am from Kansas, the Sunflower State, whose motto is “Ad astra per aspera” or, “To the stars through difficulty”. It doesn’t have to be difficult, but rather tidy and organized, and the stars will align (more or less).
I’m passionate about enabling people to see data and stories for themselves — insights that are actionable, grounded in clarity, and built with rigor. I’m currently seeking full-time opportunities in data science, analytics, operations and/or market intelligence or related roles where I can bring this approach to a team.
Let’s talk
I’m open to full-time roles across data science, analytics, and visualization — happy to work in person or hybrid. Feel free to reach out or check out my resume.
