Derek Cooper Email & Phone Number

I've always been interested in looking at a problem from a broad view and identifying what issues could arise or anything that could be improved upon, joining the Air Force in 2015 I had a plethora of different problems to tackle each day! Although I have enjoyed my time in the military, I have decided to adopt a more family oriented life-style being in the military with the risk of being sent on deployment as a single father with two children the risk is no longer worth the reward, I have spent the last 7 years of my life progressing through the military meeting great people and exploring many different locations, my main role has been the uploading and downloading of cargo and personnel on various forms of aircraft for various tasks from training missions to deployments to the middle east. Although on the surface it can be mistaken as a vehicle operator many different logistical problems are required to be solved before a driver can think about approaching an aircraft gathering all the data from weight, dimensions, hazardous materials, compatibility of cargo, to the safety of passengers all have to be taken into account ahead of time to avoid any aircraft or more importantly personnel being in a dangerous situation, it was this part of the job that I've learned I really enjoy, I am pursuing education in data analytics to continue my passion of analyzing a broad set of information that can at times seem impossibly chaotic and identifying and compiling them into a more efficient product. I look forward to this new chapter of my life. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile! If you have any information or guidance on data analytics you could provide I would greatly appreciate it!
