What I Do
Web Development
I build and deploy websites for a variety of clients including non-profit organizations, academic associations and businesses. I typically use WordPress and have extensive experience in theme and plugin development.
Data Analysis
I fit a variety of statistical models to data — depending on the context at play (e.g., data questions being asked, structure of the data, distributions of the data) — in order to quantify and explain insights that are latent, to one degree or another, within the data.
Data Wrangling
I transform messy data into structures that are usable for downstream purposes such as data analysis and reporting. My go-to programming language for data wrangling is R and it has yet to let me down.
Reports, Knowledge Translation
I rely heavily on several powerful tools to summarize the results of data analyses: (1) the DataTables JavaScript library for searchable/filterable data tables, (2) ggplot2 for publication-ready plots, and (3) R Markdown, which brings together the code, the tables and the plots in a format that allows for complete reproducibility. I also synthesize large amounts of research literature and provide summaries for lay audiences.
