Professional Analytics
Integrate custom data science solutions
into your business workflows.
Experience and Values
I first entered the world of IT through web development. While serving in the US Army, I created websites to promote my music and the businesses of friends and family. In college, I studied Python and discovered my interest in computing. I later graduated from the University of Arizona with a degree in Intelligence and Information Operations. The program focused on analytic skills, open-source research, statistics, and programming.
After starting my career as a SQL developer, I began my master's degree in Data Science, also at the University of Arizona. While some students focused their programs on coding and high-level artificial intelligence, I focused mine on database design, statistics, and engineering applications. This knowledge is essential to accurate and efficient data science implementations. It sets those with a deep understanding apart from mere coders. I routinely use statistics and engineering principles to map and measure solutions, and I convey my results through clear visualizations.
As a professional data scientist, I deliver excellent products and services to my clients. My work ethic, drive, and creativity enable me to create superior interactions and results.
Leadership Profile
My mentors have described me as rigorous, self-disciplined, and responsible. These positive traits have grown from my experiences, mistakes, and upbringing. Peers have described me as a natural leader and teacher.
As a leader, I believe introspection is vital. I continually assess my leadership responses, as well as those of others, through reflection. Stories of great leaders inspire me to maintain my Christian faith and exemplify professional excellence. The following table illustrates some of my leadership perspectives.
| Leadership Analysis | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Drive | Irresolute | Motivated | Committed |
| Smarts | Resourceful | Clever | Inventive |
| Stamina | Deterred | Methodical | Unstoppable |
| Power | Passive | Effective | Dominant |
| Note: This table displays possible leadership responses as a morphological device. Use this table to combine human traits into potential outcomes. For example, if you are committed (1) to success, you may harness available resources (2) to methodically (3) produce effective (4) solutions. | |||
Methodology and Skills
I execute projects in an orderly manner. Project definition, requirements, design, modeling, and testing are essential parts of my approach. I plan and write code that is both understandable and concise. Some of my core principles include NASA's Power of Ten, programming without exceptions, and test-driven development.
I primarily use SQL for database queries and administration and Python for data analysis. I enjoy programming in C for personal projects and extensions. I also leverage my experience with web languages to create polished visuals and interact with web APIs.
Some of my core skills and abilities include:
- Analysis, open-source research, and planning
- Procedural and object-oriented programming
- Troubleshooting
- Dataset exploration and cost-benefit analysis
- Database design (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL)
- Database migration, maintenance, tracing, and tuning
- ETL scripting
- API development and documentation
- Working with scientific datasets and satellite imagery
- Scientifically training, testing, and validating approaches and documenting results
- Using feature selection, feature engineering, cross validation, principal components analysis, and scoring metrics to train and tune models
- Classification, anomaly detection, density-based clustering, a priori analysis, regression analysis, natural language processing, and custom algorithm design and implementation
- Creating impactful 2D and 3D visualizations, such as scatterplots, bar charts, line plots, histograms, heatmaps, and tables
- Creating business intelligence dashboards
- Unit and integration testing

Research Highlights
As a professional, I continually seek and refine my knowledge through study and research. This commitment has helped me develop a diverse skill set, including designing innovative SQL solutions, creating impactful visualizations, and tackling complex security challenges.
I have designed many unique and exciting SQL solutions with inter-organizational teams. Read three SQL case studies to learn about my skills and development approach.
In addition to SQL, I understand the power of visualizations in data assimilation. See how I use sophisticated visuals to deliver my findings and make data more accessible.
My expertise extends to cybersecurity as well. Vishing is a type of social engineering attack that can compromise sensitive information. Read about my proposed software design to help users authenticate callers and thwart social engineers.
