I am a problem solver with an inquisitive mind. I love the feeling when you are able to help resolve a problem. That "Aha" moment when it all comes together. I like working in a fun and friendly environment. I would like to have breadth and depth of knowledge in any career I'm in. I'm not one to just 'do the job', I seek to understand the what and the why.Specialties: SAS, data management, IRT, equating, data analysis, editing, and excellent problem solving skills. Enjoy programming to find solutions and automate tasks.Very little experience in terms of user interface design, but I enjoy coding the logic and functionality. I've worked with Python, Ruby, C++, C, D3, javascript, PostgreSQL, some HTML and Javascript. Currently using SAS OPTMODEL to research automated test assembly and robustness to various factors. I've used Ruby with an API to query current online users. Part of a team that built a mock research community site using PubMed data stored on PostgreSQL server. Syntax can be learned, problem solving and logic is key - and fun.
