Current Work
Data Analyst/Developer at Movement Gyms
In my current role, I work with a very small team of just 4 people. While our job is for an established company, technology in the climbing industry is not widely prevalent. As a result, our team shares many similar experiences to that of a small start up. We often share work outside of our strict role, and our job roles are broad and encompasing.
Some of the tasks that I perform include:
- Developing reports
- Creating data pipelines for ETL
- Managing our internal data infrastructure
- Creating predictions and models
- Working with the web developer on ad hoc Word Press tasks
- Developing small internal applications
- Deploying internal applications
- Gathering requirements from stakeholders
- Managing a project life cycle and working from start to finish
- Developing new standard for our team as it pertains to development
- Determining the best tools for new web development
- Creating automations on our Linux server
- Managed aspects of the AWS console (EC2, ECS, ECS, Fargate)
Some of the skills I use day to day include:
- MySQL
- PowerBI
- Fabric (admin, data flows, and permission management)
- Python (Streamlit, Flask, and machine learning tools like SciPy, NumPy, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, etc. )
- WordPress
- Bash (Ubuntu)
Background
I grew up in Houston, TX. My first exposure to programming was through learning about Minecraft servers as a kid. I frequented a local hackerspace – TXRX – where I was inspired to learn Python through the series “Learn Python The Hard Way.” I followed that by learning about WordPress and HTML/CSS through both Udacity courses and my mom’s SEO business.
I went to school to pursue a passion of music, but upon graduation I kept finding myself coming back to computer science. Throughout my school years, I worked in and out of climbing gyms. Afterwards, I continued that career path and spent many of my free hours learning as much as I could about computer science. From fundamentals about programming, to web development, to machine learning and AI techniques, anything that expanded my knowledge and interests, I pursued learning.
I eventually went back to school to obtain my Masters Degree in Data Analytics. I started doing analytics for the climbing gym I worked with until now where I work full time as a data analyst helping the business grow by providing more real time and more in depth analytics to key stakeholders within the company.
