What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my software development, testing, data analysis, and machine-learning research experience to build practical, reliable technology solutions.

I've developed HR technology test cases at AgFirst Farm Credit Bank, built an interactive appliance lifetime and budgeting tool for RiseUp, and created XML and C# test cases at Finastra to validate software components.

My research at Benedict College applies Python, Pandas, XGBoost, Plotly, Bayesian Networks, and MATLAB to hazardous-materials risk analysis and robust image classification. I also bring hands-on data analysis, WordPress, front-end development, and customer-focused technical troubleshooting experience.
