Hi, I'm Craig Droke
Associate Data Scientist | Exelon
Transforming data into actionable insights through advanced analytics, machine learning, and automation. Passionate about revolutionizing operations through innovative data solutions.
About Me
I am a motivated, knowledgeable, and creative person that seeks to improve the world around me. I take pride in my ability to lead technical groups and solve problems of any nature. I am a graduate from Rowan University where I obtained a bachelors degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a minor in Computer Science in May of 2025. My interests are in big data analysis, machine learning, embedded systems, and power systems.
I have achieved several awards and/or honors in the past that have helped to define my character. In 2019, I obtained the rank of Eagle Scout from the Boy Scouts of America. Subsequently, I was awarded the Eagle Scout of the Year Award by the Garden State Council. I am immensely appreciative of the skills and life lessons I learned while apart of the great organization. In 2022, as an intern I was selected to participate in Lockheed Martin's Project Pathways Program, where the focus was on 5G technology. This was given by MathWorks professionals. In 2024, I was given the IEEE Student Leader of the Year award by the Southern New Jersey Professional Societies. Lastly, in 2025, I was awarded the C. Ernest O'Neal Medallion Award for Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rowan University. This is the highest award available to undergraduate students. It showcased my dedication to service to the department and it's students as well as educational excellence.
When I'm not at work, you can find me exploring new technologies, and continuously expanding my knowledge in the fields of data science, machine learning, and engineering. Many of my projects can be found below and on my GitHub page.
