• Optimizing similarity scoring algorithm for scholarship applications through statistical analysis and implementation of a Large Language Model (LLM) that classifies text from applicants. • Designing, building, and maintaining data visualization dashboards in Tableau for Senior Leadership. Engaging with stakeholders to understand performance requirements and communicate results.• Served as Team Lead for 5-person Data Assessment and Acquisition team, implemented Agile approach, led client engagement in bi-weekly calls, and ensured quality and schedule of deliverables.• Provided data science solutions in Entity Resolution for the DOD Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office. Researched and implemented machine learning methods, including semi-supervised learning, human-in-the-loop models, and hierarchical clustering, assessed data quality, and identified ways to improve model accuracy.

• Applied expertise in ArcGIS and AutoCad to design photovoltaic (PV) site plans and energy production models. • Provided engineering support for utility-scale solar development projects in various phases of the development lifecycle, including origination, site analysis, and proposal development for power offtake.

Us

• Served as technical leader for 3D geologic modeling and physics-based simulation project for development of 12 oil reservoirs offshore Guyana. • Wrote end-to-end workflow that integrates geologic data from multiple sources with varying accuracy, scale, and structure, runs geostatistical simulation, and populates subsurface properties of 3D models with ~100M cells.• Leveraged technical background in geoscience and data science to quantify hydrocarbon volumes in the reservoir, and understand how well placement, fluid dynamics, and subsurface geology interact to impact recoverable oil.• Mentored, collaborated, and created alignment among cross-functional team of geologists and engineers, and presented model results to senior leadership

Us

• Worked on software development team to help build a reservoir modeling and simulation software. Wrote code in Python that produced 3D geocellular models of oil reservoirs and worked collaboratively with team to implement new features and fix bugs. • Pioneered software use in business unit by building geologic models of multi-billion barrel oil reservoir offshore Brazil. Quantified hydrocarbon volumes in the reservoir, and presented results to senior leadership, which helped them make a data-driven decision on whether to bid on production rights.

Us

• Wrote code in Python-based software to build 3D geologic models of oil reservoirs offshore Dubai. Models were part of a collaborative research effort to better discern how fluid flows through oil reservoirs with varying degrees of permeability heterogeneity.

Eugene, Or, Us

• Assisted in undergraduate and graduate level earth science classes, teaching labs and guiding hands-on exercises for 100+ student classes.

Eugene, Or, Us

• Researched aftershock frequency following large earthquakes and how it relates to fault stress, geometry, and fluid flow around faults. • Aggregated earthquake data from databases of 100,000’s of earthquakes and performed spatiotemporal statistical seismicity modeling in MATLAB. Utilized a maximum likelihood function to determine optimal model parameters, and Akaike information criteria to conclude if differences in model parameters were statistically significant.• Demonstrated understanding of research lifecycle, including developing research ideas, designing project plans, collecting and analyzing data, and communicating results at the American Geophysical Union conference.
