At University of Nebraska–Lincoln Global Nebraska, I use WebFOCUS to report and reconcile student data across Oracle PeopleSoft Campus Solutions and Sunapsis. I built automated SQL/R reporting pipelines that cut external reporting time from six months to three weeks.

I also automated registration verification and ETL workflows, reducing a week of team effort to a three-day task for one person. I designed Power BI and Tableau dashboards to track scholarship allocations, financial trends, and KPIs.

As a Graduate Research Assistant, Computational Data Analysis, I built RNA-seq pipelines on the HCC Swan HPC cluster and used FastQC and MultiQC for quality control. I also applied statistical tests to evaluate patterns in high-dimensional datasets.

My work has also included training a CNN to pilot a drone, building data integrations and backend components, and developing bioinformatics pipelines for eDNA research. I co-authored a published analysis of Linear A, Linear B, and Swahili.
