Data analysis
Exploration: Cleaning and summarizing
As part of my curriculum for the Programming for Data Science with Python nanodegree, I had the opportunity to explore and clean a provided data set in preparation for final analysis. Scroll through the Jupyter notebook to the left that I used to document this process (click here to enlarge).
Skills involved: Python and data analysis packages (Pandas, NumPy, Seaborn, and Matplotlib), Jupyter Notebooks, data exploration, and cleansing.
Analysis: Visualization and findings
To present findings from the cleansed dataset described above, as part of my curriculum for the Programming for Data Science with Python nanodegree, I prepared slides describing exploratory questions for analysis and accompanying visuals of relevant data. Browse through the Jupyter slideshow to the left to explore my findings from this process (click here to enlarge). Click the arrows in the bottom-right to advance slides. Where applicable, click the down-arrow to view visuals referenced in the text.
Skills involved: Python and data analysis packages (Pandas, NumPy, Seaborn, and Matplotlib), Jupyter Notebooks, data visualization.
Data and workflow management
Budget manager
This free, Google Sheets-based budget manager simplifies finance management via guided transaction trackers, monthly planners, calculators, and embedded reporting and dashboard tools for visibility into budgetary trends. Watch this short tutorial to get started.
Skills involved: Data validation, arrays, VLOOKUPs, process optimization, training media/documentation, Google Sheets.
Meal planner
A time-saving meal planner for generating itemized grocery lists and auto-calculated ingredient quantities based on crowd-sourced recipe data. Built with a simplified end user experience in mind, this free tool requires no installation or access-permissions to minimize barriers of entry, has embedded instructional guides within the familiarity of a spreadsheet interface, and is summarized via this brief video tutorial.
Skills involved: Data management, process optimization, training media/documentation, Google Sheets.
Design
Websites
I have created and maintained several websites including personal blogs, a professional portfolio (this website), and intranet sites for co-worker access to shared workplace resources. Each use-case requires a brand and content management disciplines as realized by a site design that is navigable and otherwise sensitive to the end-user's experience.
Skills involved: Brand/content management, content security/access control.
