Aspect is an environmental consulting firm specializing in earth & water (geology, hydrology, water rights, remediation, and more). As the senior staff Data Scientist, I manage our environmental data systems and tools, including EQuIS, Fulcrum, Tableau. I create and manage technical solutions to data issues. Good science and good decision-making start with good data.

As a Help Desk Engineer, I worked with clients and developers to troubleshoot and resolve issues regarding the product line. I wrote documentation for Users and other Engineers. I performed training sessions both online and in person.As a Systems Engineer, I worked with clients to understand their specific business needs, and ensure that their system would meet those needs. I wrote specifications for product development, and worked with Programmers to design and test the product. Products I worked on included custom reports, custom modules for EQuIS, alterations to the architecture of the EQuIS Alive and EQuIS DQM (Data Qualification Module) product lines.I performed custom set-ups of client systems.I worked as an intermediary or "translator" between technical/programmer based staff and business/science based clients.

I designed, developed and implemented small to medium scale data applications to meet assorted business needs.I assessed available technologies and perform options analysis on business solutions. This allowed the team I was on to improve their efficiency and reliability by leveraging technological solutions. I acted as a "translator" between IT and the Line of Business.I developed and trained others on practices and procedures for collecting and analyzing environmental chemistry data. I also assessed quality of collected data and performed data validation, as well as training others to do so.
