PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
An engineering information focused data scientist, which enjoy processing any type of data. These
are the things that fascinate and make me love what I do and strive to improve upon my knowledge.
I like to go inside the data and make sense of informatics so that I can translate the data into
everyday language that provide improved business solutions. The more complex the data the better.
I can gather the information, analyze it and plan a project to open up new frontiers for how business
can be done in the future. While all of this is being done, I can setup and manage the systems that
are providing the data and process reports so that everyone is always on the same page.
I use tools such as Tableau, Circos, Pentaho, MicroStrategy, R, Spotfire, D3.js, MAPINFO and
Oracle Server; platforms such as UNIX, Windows and Linux; languages including PHP, UNIX Shell
Scripting and C; and provide risk assessment, QA, research and development and project
management. I am absolutely fascinated with informatics and all that communication technologies
and data visualization entails.
