Quinn Halliwell: The Expert Data Detective

“Data is the map. Curiosity is the compass.”- the Data Detective

If you’re looking for someone to blindly trust headlines, parrot talking points, or regurgitate carefully curated narratives, you’ve come to the wrong place. I’m Quin Halliwell, and I don’t deal in assumptions—I deal in facts. Hard data. The kind of information that makes patterns clear, reveals inconsistencies, and helps you see beyond the surface.

I’m here to ask the questions no one else is asking, dig into the numbers, and show you what’s really going on beneath the noise of political spin and media manipulation. Some people call it “data science.” I call it data detective work for the modern age—because when you follow the data, the truth has nowhere to hide.

Who is Quin Halliwell?

I’ve always been a problem-solver. As a kid, I was the one who stayed up late breaking apart puzzles just to see how they fit together. I built gadgets, tested out homemade encryption codes, and spent hours analyzing how things worked. I was the kid who asked, “Yeah, but how do we know that’s true?”

That curiosity led me to a degree in Data Science and Analytics, where I learned how to read between the lines of statistics, see the patterns that most people miss, and most importantly—spot when someone is trying to manipulate the numbers to push an agenda.

Since then, I’ve worked in nonprofits, investigative journalism, and academic research, using data to cut through misinformation, expose false narratives, and provide real, unbiased analysis. I’ve been behind the scenes fact-checking claims, running probability models, and creating visual tools to make complex topics accessible to everyday people.

Now, I’m bringing that same level of curiosity, analysis, and data detective transparency to DoWhatMATAs.com.

What I Believe

📊 Numbers Tell a Story—If You Know How to Read Them
Data isn’t just cold, hard facts. It’s a language, a map, a tool—and when you understand it, you can see the truth for yourself instead of relying on someone else to tell you what to believe.

🕵️‍♂️ Misinformation Thrives in Confusion
We’re living in an era where misleading statistics and cherry-picked data points are used to shape narratives instead of inform the public. I’m here to help you cut through the manipulation.

🤔 You Don’t Have to Agree With Me—Just Think for Yourself
I don’t want blind trust. I want you to challenge the information, follow the data, and draw your own conclusions. If I do my job right, you’ll start asking better questions and demanding better answers.
