About Me

Hi, my name is Taemin Kim. I'm from Portland, Oregon, and I am currently a Data Science student at the University of Michigan, deeply interested in the intersection of sociology, economics, and technology. I’m passionate about exploring how data-driven approaches can help us understand human behavior and societal trends, especially in areas like migration, economic policy, and social systems.

I focus on building interactive data visualizations and simulation models that bridge the gap between raw data and actionable insights. Currently, I'm developing an economic and politics simulation game that uses real-world data and behavioral models to let players explore how policy decisions and social dynamics shape outcomes.
