About
Ammolytics is a collaborative data-analysis platform, with the goal of improving the signal-to-noise ratio of information and ideas within the firearm and competitive marksmanship community.
The Author
Hi, I’m Eric! I created Ammolytics out of my passion for statistics, computer-science, marksmanship, physics, and education. Here are a few things about me that you might find interesting:
- πΊπΈ I was born and raised in Northwest Ohio – just a few miles from Camp Perry, home of the CMP National Matches.
- π» I started writing software in 1994 after seeing the film Hackers, which is excellent.
- π― I grew up around firearms, but I caught the bug for marksmanship after watching my uncle compete with an M1 Garand.
- π§ I lived and worked in Silicon Valley for over 10 years, most of the time at Google and Optimizely.
- π I earned my NRA High-Master classification for F-Class Mid-Range.
- β°οΈ I currently live in the Pacific Northwest, with my amazing family and rambunctious dog.
- β I have an insatiable appetite for knowledge. And coffee.
- πͺ I’ve completed two GORUCK challenges – Tough and Constellation, and I can’t get enough.
- π€ I’ve been a nerd my whole life.
