Veteran | Completed Data Scientist Intern @3Z Brands | Data Analyst | Predictive Modeling | Business Analytics | Data Visualization
MS in Data Science with experience in data mining, data analysis, and data visualization. Skilled in statistical analysis, machine learning, stakeholder management, and project coordination. Proven leadership as an Army platoon sergeant, demonstrating exceptional organizational and team management abilities. Problem solver knowledgeable about AWS Cloud, Python, Tableau, and Power BI. Seeking a data analyst role to automate workflows and support continuous process improvements at an enterprise dedicated to using data-driven insights to drive progress.
Data Analysis
Data analytics has been a cornerstone of my academic journey, particularly evident in my contribution to an environmental science project at Middle Tennessee State University. My role in this project centered on soil quality modeling, utilizing techniques like Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) and Stability Selection. The challenge was to rank the most influential factors affecting soil quality.
Dashboards and Reporting
In my data analytics studies, I created an interactive dashboard for analyzing gaming data, focusing on 84 unique champions in various roles. This tool elegantly merges sophisticated design with analytical depth, allowing users to explore in-game variables, end-of-game statistics, and key performance indicators through techniques like LASSO modeling. It also allowed users the ability to capture their own game data through web scraping, and apply the models to their data.
Communication
The ability to effectively convey complex information in a way that is not only visually appealing, but also engaging for the viewer can be a powerful tool. Business Intelligence was a significant portion of my degree, where communicating business insight through compelling visualizations was a core concept. I have experience using many different tools for this process, from Tableau and Python to Excel, and even graphical software such as Adobe Photoshop.
Chatgpt and Generative AI
ChatGPT, and other generative AI tools, have become increasingly popular for use in commercial industries. In a recent project, I developed a system that harnesses the capabilities of multiple instances of ChatGPT for project management and task execution. In this project, a single instance of the chatbot manages the project outline and delegates tasks for execution by the other instances. This overcomes the challenges of using a single instance to accomplish a project and can semi-automously finish a project.
Hello, I’m Robert,
A data scientist with a passion for uncovering insights from complex datasets. I graduated with a MS in Data Science, from Middle Tennessee State University, TN 2024. Prior to my academic journey, I had the honor of serving in the US Army, where I developed invaluable leadership skills and a keen attention to detail.
With a strong foundation in data science, I have contributed to published papers, presented at conferences, and undertaken various projects as a graduate research assistant. I recently completed a Data Scientist Internship with 3Z Brands, where I led a project to model counterfactuals for previously implemented promotions. Through this project, I worked directly with stakeholders to model multiple brands (5) promotion counterfactuals and provide insights on promotion effectiveness. These results have impacted the marketing strategy for future promotion windows. My diverse experiences have allowed me to cultivate expertise in extracting meaningful patterns from data and translating them into actionable insights.
Ever since I began this program, I have found a passion for learning and exploring the newest technologies in the field. I have been exploring the use of generative AI tools such as Chatgpt since the week it went public and have completed multiple projects using OpenAI’s API platform.
I am eager to bring my unique blend of military discipline, academic rigor, and passion for data science to your team. If you are seeking such a person, please reach out through email or LinkedIn.
