Hi, I’m Blaine. I’m passionate about using data to solve real problems — whether it’s forecasting trends, building interactive dashboards, or uncovering patterns in messy data.

I’m Blaine McGraw — a Business Analytics & Information Systems student at the University of Iowa. I specialize in turning complex data into clear, actionable insights through statistical analysis, predictive modeling, and business-driven dashboarding. On this site is a space to show off some of my personal side along with what I have done while in school.

There are many things I enjoy and like to do in my free time. One of my favorite hobbies is listening to music. My favorite genre is hip hop and more specifically trap music. My favorite artists include Travis Scott, Lil Tecca, Yeat, and Playboi Carti. I also enjoy going to concerts and festivals. I have seen Travis Scott perform live on his tour as well as going to Summer Smash in 2024. I also enjoy gaming as this past summer I built my own gaming PC where I play games like Valorant, Minecraft, and Fortnite. I also enjoy playing Clash Royale as well.

I am also very fond of sports. I am a huge Iowa fan for all sports from football to wrestling I am always cheering on the Hawks. My favorite sports to watch are football, wrestling, basketball, and baseball. I got my love for watching sports from playing them back in high school and my youth. In high school I did cross country, football, wrestling, track, and baseball. Though by the time it was all said and done my favorite sports to participate in were wrestling and baseball.
