This site is my map, charting a path through the vast frontier of artificial intelligence to find meaning, solutions, and ultimately, a cure for my wife\u2019s multiple myeloma. Like Odysseus striving to return to his beloved Penelope, my mission is clear: to leverage the power of AI in the fight against cancer, to uncover insights, and to transform the impossible into the possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Here, I will document my exploration\u2014researching datasets, building code, and diving into the realms of early diagnosis, better education, and groundbreaking therapies. It\u2019s a long and uncertain voyage, but the destination\u2014a cure\u2014is worth every step. This is a journey of discovery, of deep understanding, and above all, of love. I invite you to join me on this expedition. Together, we can explore uncharted waters and navigate the way home to hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-35f06ea7 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-style-section-1 has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained is-style-section-1--1\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f911b2ec wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);flex-basis:45%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daniel-holman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/scylla.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daniel-holman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/scylla.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.daniel-holman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/scylla-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.daniel-holman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/scylla-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.daniel-holman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/scylla-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:-12vw\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:0;padding-left:0;flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-831b2db5 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-text-display is-style-text-display--2\">About Me <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default wp-block-paragraph\">My name is <strong>Dan Holman<\/strong>, a Data Scientist and AI Enthusiast driven by both logic and love. I\u2019ve been married to my incredible wife for 17 years, and together, we\u2019ve built a beautiful family with three amazing kids and one grandchild we are raising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March 2022, my wife and I faced a life-altering challenge: she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer that is treatable but, for now, incurable. Since then, we\u2019ve endured the relentless tides of this aggressive disease. As a data scientist, I\u2019ve struggled to make sense of it all\u2014why this happened, how we can fight it, and how I can help others facing similar battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default wp-block-paragraph\">This site is my way of documenting this journey through an uncertain abyss. It\u2019s a quest not only to fight for my wife but to explore how artificial intelligence can provide answers, hope, and meaning in a world that feels uncharted. Like Odysseus navigating the perils of Scylla\u2019s lair, this is a journey of sacrifice, discovery, and determination to reach home\u2014where love and hope reside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Personal Fight: Leveraging AI to Fight Cancer Welcome to my journey\u2014an odyssey fueled by love, hope, and the unrelenting drive to make a difference.
