PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Research & Engagement Coordinator — First Year Experience - CSU, Chico Jan 2026 - Present
• Analyzed 1,000+ student survey records across 4 FYE programs (561 Town Hall, 414 Summit, 354 Sense of Place, 159 course responses) using Python, and Qualtrics/Excel data to clean datasets.
• Segmented 414 Summit submissions by pre-close vs post-close timing, finding 96% (398) before deadline and 4% (16) after, with 96% completion and peak response times between 4–7 PM MT.
• Built a 5-tab Streamlit dashboard with Plotly charts, year/term filters, and session-level views (180, 123, and 111 responses across 3 Summit exports) to share survey results with non-technical stakeholders.
• Completed EDA and open-ended response review across multi-semester datasets, delivered chart exports and 5+ evidence- based Summit recommendations, and produced written reports to support FYE program. Data Analytics Intern – Tableau Dashboard Development — CSU, Long Beach June 2025 - Mar 2026
• Developed an interactive Tableau dashboard analyzing 924 manuscript submissions across 7 relational datasets, enabling data-driven evaluation of editorial performance from 2021–2025.
• Designed and implemented 10+ interactive visualizations including trend analysis, acceptance-rate tracking, outcome seg- mentation, scatter plots, and demographic dashboards using Tableau.
• Built KPI-driven reporting solutions tracking submission volume, acceptance rate, and average decision time, while implement- ing dynamic filters for article type, editor, outcome, and demographic categories.
• Generated actionable insights from editorial data by identifying submission trends, topic-level patterns, workflow efficiency indicators, and demographic representation metrics, supporting strategic decision-making and reporting. PROJECTS
Job Market Analysis Dashboard with API Integration
• Built a real-time job market dashboard by integrating thousands of live job listings using the Adzuna API, enabling automated salary trend analysis and skill-demand reporting across multiple industries.
• Developed dynamic filtering systems and implemented salary trend analysis with in-demand skill extraction, utilizing interactive Plotly visualizations to present data insights in a clear and actionable format.
• Managed and maintained source code using Git version control, supporting collaborative development workflows and ensuring organized project tracking throughout the development lifecycle. Real-Time Automatic License Plate Detection and Recognition (ALPR) using YOLOv8
• Built an end-to-end ALPR pipeline in Python using YOLOv8, OpenCV preprocessing, and EasyOCR/Tesseract to accurately detect and extract license plate text from images.
• Trained and evaluated YOLOv8n on a 24K-image dataset, reporting key performance metrics including mAP@0.5, precision, and recall to validate model accuracy.
• Developed an interactive Streamlit dashboard to automate reporting workflows, significantly reducing manual analysis time. Speed Breaker & Lane Detection using Machine Learning for Autonomous Vehicles
• Performed data collection and preprocessing to ensure high-quality inputs, improving overall machine learning model perfor- mance and reliability.
• Trained CNN for speed breaker and lane marking detection, achieving 95% accuracy on test data.
• Collaborated with cross-functional team to integrate the CNN solution into an autonomous vehicle system, ensuring seamless end-to-end functionality.
