Who am I?

A Software Developer from Arkansas

Garrett Collier is a current graduate student at the University of Southern California pursuing a master degree in Public Administration. He values family, our Lord and savior, and making other people's lives easier through technology. He has experience in Software Development and Database Design through his academic time spent at Michigan State University and Hendrix College, as well as his industry work as a Solution Developer at Acxiom LLC. Garrett is also familiar with general tech troubleshooting, consumer product setup, and daily use techniques.

Garrett is looking to use his skills in the technical industry in a setting where he has the freedom to be creative and help others in the process. He is looking to make an impact in Software Development before eventually shifting his efforts to Public Administration and the realms of local government, politics, and non-profit management. He is currently working toward this goal with his non-profit work at The "I Love You Guys" Foundation where he is tasked with website development and maintenance as well as connecting with public administrators, first responders, and educators in an attempt to improve the safety procedures and protocols for students and working professionals.

NCLH Shift

I have changed course at Acxiom LLC, currently adpating to and working with Norweigan Cruise Lines Holdings (NCLH). In the past, I was tasked with automated processes mainly in Oracle and Excel working for Consumer Reports, Americas Test Kitchen, and others. Soon there after, I shifted to manual interest and engaement reports working under the AT&T team. Now, I have taken a full time role, moving beyond my internship, working under the NCLH team where I am using Python, Streamlit, and Snowflake to manage a User Interface for new and existing agencies and campaigns.

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 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!
