I believe that acquiring skills and knowledge is not a zero-sum game: proficiency in one subject shouldn't prevent one from mastering others. Rather than doing similar jobs throughout my career, I have instead been constantly learning new skills and putting them into practice.I am a creative, interdisciplinary thinker who has solved a diverse range of data-intensive problems using custom statistical and computational tools. I have been dealing with large and complex data sets long before "big data" became a buzzword. I communicate and collaborate effectively across disciplines as wide-ranging as computer science, genetics, graphic design, and the humanities. More recently, I have been working in the nonprofit sector as an archivist, primarily with "old school" paper records from the mid-20th century, but even here I have further developed my computer skills by building and maintaining websites and writing custom code for metadata management. In addition, I have been digitizing historical audio materials in-house, as well as developing workflows and metadata strategies for dealing with the many hundreds of digital files that result.My skills include archives and information science skills, scientific and data analytic software development, web design and development using Drupal and Omeka, basic Linux server administration, machine learning, and statistics.
