Welcome to my professional portfolio and blog. This serves as not only as samples of work product and projects, but shall also offer discussions, insights, and resources in both of the fields of technical communications and data science and analysis. 

Let's begin with my experience as a qualification:

My experience in technology spans well over a decade. I've worked hands-on with teams in IT for large-enterprise corporations, and received recognition and several awards for my performance. I've represented my self as a technical writer for several start-ups, and worked in data analytics, reporting to executive-level  members of one of the largest companies in the world. And of particular note is my recent participation in the Data Scientist Immersive program at General Assembly. I am always on the lookout for new opportunities to apply my various skillsets to. See my resume at:

My experience engaged as a data scientist at General Assembly included scripting, munging data, and building models utilizing Python, SQL and several public datasets found on Kaggle. There were many challenging projects taken on individually and as teams, each concluding with a presentation. This style of learning, with a focus on readiness for a professional environment, was very similar to my education at Wentworth Institute of Technology. A highlighted project analyzed Boston’s Hubway bike-share program— which is now rebranded as Blue Bikes— to establish a predictor that categorized the types of trips taken in an effort to profile the service’s user characteristics. The project, beginning with its executive summary, can be found here:

As a technical writer I've written collateral documents, tutorials, blogs and video scripts for the email marketing analytics and business intelligence companies Evergage and eDataSource. I enjoyed contributing to these startups, and capitalized on the opportunity to work as a writer for the modernization of eDataSource’s website. Examples of my work for both companies—edited and rebranded for NDA compliance—can be found on my hosted portfolio page:

Alternately some samples of note are:

• MeTRIXyst— Market Tracker: Basic searching and reading of resuFreportinglts
• Guide to Creating Campaigns
• Three Pain Points of Data Science
• What Is Cohort Reporting?

Furthermore, every week as a Data Integrity Lead for the social analytics company Visible Technologies I analyzed, for the executive-level members of their client Dell Computers, hundreds of online news and media articles regarding the technology sector. I ensured that the SaaS platform correctly tagged articles for Dell and all of their competitors, based on sentiment, reach and impact. I worked with algorithms which were NLP-based and provided summary analysis, feedback and troubleshooting.

My posted resume outlines the above in more detail. My downloadable resume is available as well. The continuing research and independent training I’ve done into the Boston technology and data marketplace excites very much, and I continue to study and stay abreast of developments and innovations in the local sector and beyond.
