Hey! My name is Blake.

I am currently an undergraduate at Georgia Tech, majoring in mathematics with a concentration in data science.

I have worked as a research intern at Kennesaw State University’s mathematics department and this summer I will be a data science intern at Perpay, a financial firm focused on providing credit to underserved communities.

My current academic interests revolve around markets, machine learning, and public policy. Outside of school, I enjoy playing the piano, hiking, tennis, and geoguessr. If you have any exciting opportunities or questions, don’t hesitate to email me at blakelaw@gatech.edu.
