This is a showcase of my work that is a bit more creative than just a resume description! For the programming projects, the code is also on my GitHub. Along with each project I will (if possible) include a screenshot, a link to the specific repo (if it’s programming related), and a description of the code I worked on.
Location Checker – 2021
This project takes a list of stock symbols and will track the physical locations of each company. For this, I have grabbed various retail store stock tickers and then documented their child companies (like how Abercrombie & Fitch is the parent company of Hollister and thus the locations for both are counted for ANF). I decided to track each store within a certain radius of the top two cities in each state for the given companies. This is set up to run all of the location checks concurrently and store the results in my MySQL DB. I wish that I could work on this more and do something with the data collection, but it is way too expensive to run on a “part-time college worker” budget.

Seminar in Macro Economics Term Paper – 2022
My paper topic for the semester was about the factor of rationality when it comes to modern macroeconomics. The findings were that people were NOT rational and the fast way to digest this information is to think about how we have different biases. If there are enough biases to get a list as large as there is, then there is no way that someone can think agents in the economy are rational.
ENVISION22 Poster Presentation & Findings Presentations – 2022
For this poster presentation, I was selected to create a poster to showcase the center’s work in the counter-terror space. I work on the CP3 evaluation as the data collector and have had a tremendous time as a research assistant at NCITE. The reason that I am not super public about this on my LinkedIn is because of the death threats that some of my colleagues receive. Nonetheless, I believe that the work that we are doing will help the population as a whole and decrease the amount of Targeted Violence and Terrorism that is committed.
A month following the conference, I was also selected by our education programs and event manager to present my preliminary findings to the DHS Under Secretary for the Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) and some of his senior advisors. He was thoroughly impressed with the route that the evaluation was starting to take (we were only four months into an over two-year contract) and the Senior Advisor for Behavioral Science at S&T said it was a fantastic presentation and that he was also extremely interested to see what we end up finding after the two years. After all, this grant is the highest dollar amount awarded to a center for research by S&T.
Zoom Planner – 2020
During my Intro to Software Engineering class, I had to work on a group project throughout the semester. For this project, I worked on hosting an Apache Tomcat7 server on an AWS Box, maintaining and connecting MySQL database connections for the various accounts, and working on date processing and event displaying for the webpage. Because of the cost and effort of maintaining, the account creation and login part of the code has been taken out and people will not be able to create events that persist after creation.
