Sara Prettyman Email & Phone Number

Hi there! I'm Sara Prettyman, a driven and detail-oriented mathematician with a passion for data science and software engineering. With a Bachelor's degree in Computational & Applied Mathematics and Statistics from Utah State University, I've maintained a stellar academic record while balancing multiple responsibilities.My professional experiences have equipped me with a diverse skill set. As a QA intern at Lucid Software, I collaborated with API teams to test user interfaces, functionality, and features using Postman, gaining hands-on experience in REST API testing, OAuth 2.0 pentesting, and ensuring software quality and reliability.Building on my API testing foundation, I interned as a Software Developer at Little Unicorn, where I optimized API endpoints for package labeling and shipping through Azure Functions. Additionally, I developed and deployed internal data visualization applications using Python and Firebase, supporting data-driven decision-making in the supply chain process.Through the Anticipatory Intelligence program at USU, I've gained multi-disciplinary skills in anticipating U.S. threats and vulnerabilities, covering research on disruptive impacts of generative AI, the dedollarization impacts of cryptocurrencies, and the Flipper Zeros threat to critical government infrastructure. This program also allowed me to travel to D.C. and receive training in SANS Cyber Threat Intelligence, expanding my knowledge in cyber strategy, ethics in emerging technology research, and overcoming biases in problem-solving.With a strong foundation in mathematics, programming, and data analysis, coupled with hands-on experience in software development and cyber security, I'm eager to continue growing my technical and soft skills. I aspire to pursue a career in data science or machine learning, where I can leverage my diverse skill set to drive innovation and contribute to impact projects. If you're seeking a dedicated and motivated team player with a passion for data-driven solutions, let's connect!
