B.S. Computer Science candidate at Georgia Institute of Technology
Collaborated with a team of Georgia Tech researchers to improve on-the-field concussion diagnosis in high school, college, and professional American football. Created a Microsoft Access database for hit testing data collected by the study over many years and designed custom macros for researchers to manipulate the data. The database has been crucial for the research team to accurately analyze their tests and collaborate with the Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research (FITBIR) database.
During my summer at Protiviti, I worked on two projects:
Project 1: Created flexible and informative business intelligence reporting dashboards with SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio for Protiviti’s executive use. Within the dashboards, I designed jQuery custom components to present the data in a relatable and clear way. This project will save Protiviti about $300,000 a year by automating the manual data reporting that is currently done for each individual U.S. office. It will also allow for more frequent and relevant data to be in the hands of Protiviti’s executive decision makers.
Project 2: Worked as a consultant to redesign Nielsen’s business intelligence reporting system, focused on data warehousing. Extracted, transformed, and loaded the significant ERP database to Amazon Web Services. This project will allow Nielsen’s executive and management staff to better understand their internal data and manage their complex global operations efficiently.
Worked on a team of four to design a new and improved DNA thermocycler. Made meaningful impacts by thoroughly analyzing the issues presented and collaborating with the electrical and mechanical engineers on the team to develop the best solution for the client’s needs. Created a clear, intuitive, and comprehensive user interface with Java in Android Studio that represented the medical data intuitively for doctors’ use.
Managed an interdisciplinary team of seven Georgia Tech student volunteers in a scrum environment project creating the charity H.E.R.O. For Children’s database management system. Spent an average of seven hours a week on the project leading the team in developing the Python desktop application and MySQL database backend. The searchable database will assist H.E.R.O. in applying for grants which are critical for the organization’s survival as well as managing the many children that benefit from their programs.
Volunteered with a team of six Georgia Tech students to create a web app with a MySQL database for the charity Alliance for Survivor Care. Responsible for leading the three-person backend development team and spent an average of five hours a week building the project. The web app allows Alliance to comment on, bookmark, and search for resources based on their category, location, and keyword. Digitally connecting the several different organizations within Alliance enables them to share knowledge efficiently with each other, as well as the women they serve.
Developed a crowdsourced safe water location application with five Georgia Tech students in response to NASA’s clean water mapping challenge. Created in a scrum environment using JavaFx and Google Maps API. The application is designed for people in rural areas to find and share knowledge about safe drinking water locations
Collaboratively designed a travel review application with five Georgia Tech students that allows users to rate and write reviews about different destinations and search based on location. Led backend development on the Python GUI and MySQL database.
