You’ve found me! I’m not a myth, not yet a legend. I’m Chris Cyrille (pronounced sur-real), the modern-day unicorn.
Welcome to my portfolio website!
In this portfolio, I have put together pieces of who I am so that you, my beloved visitor, may get a peek into my world. As much as I enjoy digging into data to drive business solutions, I also enjoy studying popular culture to understand how I can connect with my peer consumers. Either way, you will always get the best me I can be. Start navigating through the different pages to learn more.
Enjoy!
I am originally from Pompano Beach, Florida. My parents immigrated to America from Haiti before I was born. They always taught me to be an opportunist. Leaving their families in Haiti was a risk they were happy to take, knowing my sisters and I would have a better upbringing in the USA.
In 2013, I left Pompano Beach for Tallahassee to attend Florida State University. I was a first-generation college student. I faced trials and tribulations with my chin up - remembering to find the opportunity for growth with each challenge.
Before attending FSU, I had no idea what databases were. I knew my online information was stored somewhere, but never really thought about it. My sister, who’s a database engineer, introduced me to data science while I was having trouble picking a major. She sold it to me as a “hot field that no one knows about.” I fell in love with it.
I’m a naturally curious person, and looking at data allows me to question and prove trends in the real world. I started applying data analytics to my every day hobbies, like fashion and sneakers, as a study for my styling business @CanopyRoadStyling. I created an application (more info on Featured tab) that takes me into the trends people are discussing on Reddit.
To marry my passion for fashion with my data acumen, with the help of a friend, I created an application that would help me discover what's trending in the fashion world. With this information, I have insight on resell value of different items and I can help style my clients with the lastest items. Visit my @CanopyRoadStyling Instagram page. More about the app:
