KEY EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION♦ Software Engineering♦ Big Data♦ Finance Tech♦ Data Engineering♦ API Development♦ Agile Development Practices♦ Cloud/AWS♦ Web Development♦ Statistical AnalysisTECHNICAL SKILLSProficient in: Java, JavaScript/jQuery, SparkFamiliar with: Scala, Python, Hadoop, MySQL, PHP, C, RubyPROJECTS AND INDEPENDENT STUDIESColorectal Cancer Model ► Worked in collaboration with an interdisciplinary team to extend the Colorectal Cancer Screening Model developed at RTI International. Programmed an agent-based model in Java using the AnyLogic simulation modeling platform.Jamaica Emergency Management Model ► Programmed an agent-based model in NetLogo for evaluating the effectiveness of hurricane emergency response strategies in the fishing community of Bluefields, Jamaica. Agent-Based Modeling ► Built, tested, and analyzed agent-based models in AnyLogic and NetLogo to assess how individual-level behaviors lead to the emergence of complex phenomena in the aggregate, particularly in the area of public health.Econometrics ► Wrote programs in Mata to implement statistical techniques such as fixed effects, ordinary least squares, non-linear least squares, maximum-likelihood, Tobit, and Heckit. Derived estimable equations from economic and probabilistic models.SENIOR HONORS THESISThe Impact of Pregnancy Intention on Child Assessment Scores ► Empirical analysis using seemingly unrelated regression systems and fixed effects techniques to assess the potential link between unintended pregnancy and child well-being.
