• Lead and mentor team of 4 analysts in end-to-end development of dozens of cyber security risk indicators from pipelines to data transformation to business logic documentation, allowing Nike to more broadly define its.
• Assemble strategic road map for development of key risk indicators by managing competing priorities, building transparency, and securing buy-in among stakeholders.
• Perform detailed analyses of large raw data sets to determine trends, find anomalies, and provide insights and supporting data to senior leadership to guide future planning.
• Define best practices for data modeling, enabling easy use for reporting across platforms and teams and ensuring broad use across the organization.
• Absorb information from diverse functional areas to consolidate ambiguous requirements and limited data into actionable metrics.
• Design and implement cloud infrastructure and database solutions to fit our team’s unique requirements while maintaining use cases for the broader organization.

• Invented and implemented new comprehensive risk metrics by gathering requirements, conducting mathematical analyses, and enabling automation; pioneered their use in simplified reporting to senior management.
• Introduced standardized development process and recordkeeping for data products, growing stakeholders’ trust in them.
• Designed and built 4 interactive dashboards from the ground-up and integrated them with team’s web presence, bringing key insights to a wider audience.

• Decided academia was not my path, supported my wife through graduate school, learned R, and joined coding group.

College Park, MD, US

• Managed and oversaw 5 Computer Science undergraduates in creating web-based astronomy teaching applications.

College Park, MD, US

• Conceptualized and implemented cutting-edge simulations spanning 1M+ CPU hours, leading to theoretical prediction consistent with recent Nobel Prize-winning observations in physics.
• Created automated data pipelines over multiple incompatible legacy programs to reduce hundreds of gigabytes of raw data down to a few relevant parameters.
• Produced hundreds of data visualizations and animations; when examined together, these revealed similarities related to a completely new unexplained phenomenon, which would have otherwise been missed.
• Analyzed performance of multiple coding solutions for accuracy and speed, saving months of development time and reducing computation errors by 20%.

College Park, MD, US

• Designed and taught all lessons and materials for introductory Astronomy class of 25 students.

Jersey City, NJ, US

• Devised programs and taught scientific topics in formal and informal settings to groups of several hundred across NJ / NY.
• Trained 20 other educators on use of materials and concepts, certifying their readiness.

Chicago, IL, US

• Managed a website database cataloging over 45K astronomical objects for scientific study and researched correlations among those objects.
