I currently influence behaviors by leveraging data-driven insights, reporting, and key measures to identify opportunities for growth. I especially love leveraging data to improve the experience of others. I am that guy who observes, tests & makes suggestions based on data to achieve the desired outcome. In my spare time, I like to empower nonprofit organizations to make better decisions based on their data. I recently worked on (and won) a hackathon in supporting Chesapeake Bay conservation. I and a team of other data-focused folks analyzed the potential causes of bay pollution and developed a predictive model for total nitrogen pollution. I also volunteer as a pro bono data scientist with DataKind, currently working with New America’s Future of Property Rights program to study housing instability and displacement across the United States.Key Accomplishments:• 7+ years analyzing data and communicating outcomes• Utilize Microsoft Suite, Tableau and Python to analyze data and create presentations, reports, strategies & training documents.
