Minor in Public Health
Indiana University — May 2024
I build real-world tools that make data understandable — from air-quality dashboards to food-waste reduction apps.
Based in Indianapolis and seeking an entry-level Data or Sustainability Analyst role where I can apply analytics, visualization, and environmental data skills to real-world impact.
🍽️ Plate Saver – Food Waste Reduction App
Collaborated with a student team to design and build a full-stack web app aimed at reducing food waste on campus.
Users can log leftover meals, get meal-planning suggestions, and measure food saved over time.
Built using Python, Flask, SQL, Google API, and HTML/CSS.
Capstone project for the Informatics degree at Indiana University.
💉 COVID-19 Vaccination Rate Dashboard
Created an interactive dashboard using Python (Pandas, Plotly, Dash) to track vaccination rates across U.S. states.
Pulled data from public APIs (CDC / Our World in Data) and visualized trends over time.
Designed for accessibility and clarity for public-health outreach teams.
🌍 Environmental Health Dashboard(In Progress...)
Used Python (Pandas, Plotly, Dash) to visualize PM2.5 air-quality data from the OpenAQ API.
Built dynamic trend tracking and city-level visualizations.
Used by peers for public-health and environmental policy projects.
🌡️ *Sensor Simulation Script (In Progress)(In Progress...)
Developing a Python-based tool to simulate thermocouple and voltage readings on a Raspberry Pi.
Used to test data pipelines, validate refresh intervals, and measure system performance under load.
Incorporates realistic signal variation, modular configuration, and logging to CSV for integration into the Raspberry Pi environmental data project.
🔊 Door Trigger Audio(In Progress...)
Built a Raspberry Pi-based motion/door-sensor system that plays custom audio clips when triggered.
Used GPIO event detection and Python scripting to control playback logic.
Demonstrates physical-computing integration and sensor responsiveness.
