About

I am a business analyst & database application developer with over 15 years' web & mobile experience. I specialize in scoping, documenting, and building data-driven digital solutions — guided by careful and thoughtful understanding of complex business problems.
I have managed and built projects with internal development teams, and worked with external stakeholders to define statements of work and effectively communicate project deliverables. I enjoy working in a project environment which pivots between technical strategy and technical implementaion.
Some examples of my work:
· I built the relational database model for and coded two enterprise business
applications: a custom HR time tracking app and an online B2B pricing database
(C#, VB.NET).
· I architected, configured, and supported .NET and Wordpress CMS applications.
· I write Python scripts to analyze diverse data sets, and build visualizations for
them in Pandas, Matplotlib, Plotly, and D3.js.
· I leverage Javascript libraries such as Leaflet.js, Plotly.js, and D3 to access
APIs such as Google Maps, Mapbox, and US Census data, to visualize salient cultural and
demographic trends.
I possess a natural, direct communication style. I am easy to get along with, and excel in small team environments.
