More about Me:

Throughout my career, I have worked at the intersection of legal processes, operational coordination, and data-driven decision-making—helping teams manage large-scale workflows, improve documentation, and execute consistently in high-demand environments.

Applying data analysis and visualization has strengthened my ability to examine complex systems through a quantitative lens and identify opportunities to improve workflows and operational outcomes. Through these projects, I focus on using data to uncover patterns, improve processes, and support more informed decisions. I’m particularly interested in how technology and analytics can enhance operational efficiency and help organizations better understand the systems that drive their work.

Selected Projects

Below are projects exploring how data analysis and visualization can be used to better understand complex systems, uncover patterns, and generate operational insights.

Interactive Study Results Dashboard

This project presents an interactive dashboard hosted on GitHub Pages that allows users to filter and explore study results through dynamic visualizations. By enabling users to interact directly with the dataset, the dashboard helps reveal patterns and trends, providing a clearer understanding of the underlying data.

Technologies: JavaScript, HTML, CSS and GitHub Pages

Amazon Vine Review Bias Analysis

This project analyzes potential bias in Amazon’s paid Vine reviews by examining patterns within a large review dataset. Using a structured data pipeline, the dataset was processed and cleaned with PySpark in Google Colab, stored in AWS, and further analyzed using PostgreSQL and Python in Jupyter Notebook. The analysis explores whether paid product reviews show different rating trends compared to non-Vine reviews.

Technologies: Python, Pandas, Jupyter Notebook, AWS, Google Colaboratory and PG Admin

Vehicle Production Data Statistical Analysis

This project uses statistical analysis in R to evaluate vehicle production data and identify factors influencing manufacturing performance. Techniques such as summary statistics, linear regression, and hypothesis testing were applied to examine variability in vehicle performance metrics and uncover potential sources of production issues. The analysis demonstrates how statistical methods can support data-driven decision-making in manufacturing environments.

Technologies: R, Rstudio

Code

Interactive Data Filtering Web Application

This project demonstrates an interactive web interface that allows users to explore and filter a dataset using multiple criteria. Built with JavaScript, the application dynamically updates a table stored as a JavaScript array, enabling users to refine results and quickly locate relevant records. The project highlights how client-side scripting can be used to create responsive, data-driven web experiences.

Technologies: JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap

Surfs Up

The aim of this project is to analyze weather data to assist a potential client in assessing the viability of a proposed business venture.

Technologies used: Python, Jupyter Notebook, SQLite and SQLAlchemy

Code Slide Deck

Movies ETL

The main goal of this project is to build functions for creating an automated pipeline. This pipeline will streamline the Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (ETL) process of data from multiple sources, ensuring the availability of clean data ready for loading into an SQL database.

Technologies used: Python, Pandas, Jupyter Notebook, PostgreSQL and PG Admin

Code

Mission to Mars

The objective of this project is to create an interactive web application designed to scrape Mars-related data and present it to users in a user-friendly format.

Technologies used: Python, Jupyter Notebook, HTML, Bootstrap, Flask and MongoDB

Code

Cryptocurrency Market Clustering Analysis

This project applies unsupervised machine learning techniques to analyze and categorize cryptocurrencies based on market data. Using tools such as Pandas, Scikit-learn, and HoloViews, the dataset was cleaned, processed, and visualized to identify patterns and group similar cryptocurrencies through clustering. The analysis demonstrates how machine learning can be used to uncover structure within complex financial datasets and support data-driven market exploration.

Technologies: Python, Pandas, Jupyter Notebook, PostgreSQL and PG Admin

Code

Workforce Demographics and Retirement Analysis

This project analyzes workforce demographic data to identify employees approaching retirement eligibility and assess potential mentorship opportunities. Using PostgreSQL and PGAdmin, SQL queries were developed to examine employee records, generate summary datasets, and highlight trends related to workforce transitions. The analysis demonstrates how structured data querying can support workforce planning and strategic organizational decision-making.

Technologies used: Python, Jupyter Notebook, HTML, Bootstrap, Flask and MongoDB
