Experience
Software - Data Analyst - Scientist
Cole Engineering Services, Inc. -- Orlando, FL
Oct 2022 - Oct 2023 (1 year)
Using Python: Pandas, Matplotlib, FLASK, Flask-Restful, Flask-SQLAlchemy, and SQLAlchemy to data mine a live AFSIM modeling framework used in a platform simulator. The accomplished results were used to view in real time how the trainee is performing during a scenario. Using Java-JDK (Apache Tomcat) and Maven to connect with Git Bash to bind a AFSIM data source. This binding created a database connection using a REST architectural style.
