NCLH Shift

I have changed course at Acxiom LLC and am currently working with Wells Fargo on financial systems projects. This role requires highly secure and structured work, focusing on automated processes, database management, and system optimization within sensitive financial environments. Prior to Wells Fargo, I worked with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH), where I supported agency and campaign management by building a user interface in Python and Streamlit connected to Snowflake databases. Earlier in my career, I contributed to projects for Consumer Reports and America's Test Kitchen, developing automated workflows in Oracle and Excel, and later supported AT&T with manual interest and engagement reporting. Now, as a full-time Solution Developer, I continue to expand my expertise by delivering secure, efficient, and compliant data solutions for clients across industries.

Script Names: Scalable Automated Voxel-wise Analysis Tool (SAVAnT) and Significant Voxel Effects Reporter and Loader (SiVERaL)

I spent the Summer of 2022, alongside Dr. Andrew Bender at Michigan State University, building 2 MRI Data Analysis Python scripts which have the ability to create and automate Design Matrices, BASH scripts, Contrast Matrices, and submit this analysis through a terminal onto a cluster.

The repository will be available here soon, so stay tuned!
