CV
I'm a contract software developer. I'm also a developer in the US Air Force for the 179th Cyber Space Wing in Mansfield, OH. In the DoD I'm awaiting some additional technical training but am largely in data-centric and data-adjacent roles. I'm a DSG (Drill Status Guardsman), meaning my military commitment allows for full time civilian roles in addition.
My skills and interests include:
- Data Analysis
- Pandas
- Matplotlib
- NumPy
- SQL
- Data Engineering
- Airflow
- DBT
- PySpark
- Docker
- PostgreSQL
- Modeling & Simulation
- OOP
- Matplotlib/NumPy
- Computational Physics
I am also skilled in web development with MERN and game development with Godot and GDScript.
Previously I was a teacher in Youngstown, Ohio. I taught Python and Programming topics, French Language and Culture, and Art among several other subjects to grades 3-8. I also have experience teaching at the graduate level during my time as a graduate assistant for an intermediate French course at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.
I have a B.A. in Linguistics from Youngstown State University. I am working toward an Associate's in Computer Systems Programming via the CCAF (Community College of the Air Force). I also plan on pursuing a Master's degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering through Western Governors University in the near future.
Portfolio
Professional projects are prohibited from public access due to work under TS and NDAs. Some fun/random side projects are available to view via my Github. Some projects showcasing proof of concept/capability are detailed below.
Duolingo Course Data ETL Pipeline
Built an end-to-end ETL pipeline to ingest, clean, and analyze language course data from Duolingo. Automated data collection with Python, transformed raw data using pandas and dbt, and visualized findings in a Jupyter notebook
Predictive Modeling of Submarine Detection via Sonar
Developed a Python-based simulation tool to model submarine detectability using signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) metrics. Factored in distance, velocity, and submarine class. Used NumPy to simulate acoustic propagation models for defense-oriented analysis. Current version is viewable via at this Github repo.
