As part of a consulting team working with The US Army’s Office of Energy Initiatives, we were tasked with identifying best practices and key challenges regarding their energy procurement, with respect to their goals of decarbonization and resiliency. Through extensive research and meetings, we fine-tuned a circulatable slide deck and memo, as well as a prototype Excel dashboard for automatically pulling and cleaning large amounts of data from across the federal government.

I developed a Python algorithm to pull, clean, and analyze hundreds of thousands of rows from the eBird API.I assessed whether privatization in China had a different impact on profitability between those which privatized into cooperatives and non-cooperatives, using a fixed effects event study model to reduce the influence of complicating factors.I picked a topic proposed by someone from the California Public Utilities Commission and assessed every proposed transmission line upgrade by proximity to ecologically-important spaces, retracing the CEC’s 2023 Land-Use Screens for Electric System Planning methodology.I engaged in extensive research and political theory to explain how the policymaking design of the OSH Act unintuitively altered the power dynamic between OSHA regulators and businesses.

I transcribed large amounts of automated message audio files from their Cisco database, as well as identifying what specific sub-organization within FDA the given files belonged to. Exceeded my assigned quotas and took on additional work, helping the team avoid bottlenecks and finish quicker.

First, I automated the team's KPIs. I created an R algorithm, communicating extensively with the local program analyst and the supervisory investigator to ensure the legally-complex KPIs were correctly calculated.Second, I crafted the visualizations for the annual performance showcase, including the team’s executive. Given notes on what generally each slide’s visual(s) should accomplish, I delivered around 10 separate visuals ranging in complexity, each tailor-made. The team was very happy with the new visuals, and I was told they would even be presented later to the head of OSHA.Finally, I implemented a dashboard for the supervisory investigator's quarterly performance reviews. I designed a cyber-secure HTML dashboard in R which provides valuable tables and visuals for each investigator, discussing with the supervisory investigator to figure out what statistics would be most valuable. Before departing, I developed an elaborate Microsoft Word guide for non-technical audiences, concerning setup and basic maintenance.
