Data Engineering & AI Workflows

Projects that best reflect my fit for data engineering, analytics engineering, and AI/data workflow roles.

• End-to-end AI pipeline for operational insights

  Built a local-first AI pipeline observability project that ingests run logs, flags failures and runtime spikes, and surfaces pipeline health through CLI reporting and a lightweight dashboard.

  Automatically generated daily vertical videos summarizing world events as short poems, narrated with local TTS and assembled using MoviePy.

• Text prediction application with machine learning

  Built an end-to-end NLP application that turned a large text corpus into a predictive language model and deployed it as an interactive Shiny app.

• AWS data pipeline for analytics at scale

  Designed an AWS-based pipeline that moved raw operational data into cleaner analytics-ready layers with stronger observability, more reliable refreshes, and better downstream reporting support.

Analytics & Decision Support

Dashboard, KPI, and reporting-system work with a stronger stakeholder and operational focus.

• Futbol League Explorer application

  Interactive Shiny application for exploring and analyzing futbol league data with filtering, visualization, and statistical insights.

• Federal Procurement Intelligence Dashboard

  Interactive procurement analytics dashboard powered by the USASpending.gov API. Explore agency spend, NAICS breakdowns, contractor leaderboards, award trends, and contract type mix across federal acquisitions.

Quant & Modeling

Quantitative and modeling projects that show analytical depth, even when they are not the main hiring signal.

• Monte Carlo Iran conflict scenario simulator

  Research-oriented Monte Carlo simulation with a polished Streamlit UI for exploring escalation paths, Hormuz disruption, oil-price outcomes, volatility spillover, and sector effects in a way a non-quant reader can actually interpret.

• Quant model for risk-aware forecasting

  Built a forecasting and scenario-analysis model that focused on uncertainty, downside risk, and decision support instead of relying only on point estimates.

Research & Scientific Reviews

Longer-form analytical writing and reproducible reports that show evidence synthesis, technical communication, and subject-matter curiosity.

• Low FODMAP Diet — Scientific Review

  Evidence-based R Markdown review of the low FODMAP diet, covering mechanism, efficacy, risks, and practical guidance.

D3 & Interactive Storytelling

Visualization-heavy work that shows my interest in explanation, systems thinking, and turning complex topics into clear interactive experiences.

• D3.js visualizations portfolio

  A collection of D3-based projects exploring demographics, regional patterns, and sports data through interactive charts, maps, and exploratory visual storytelling.

• Golden Hour

  A sunset-themed web app that radiates good energy. Generates gentle 3-line poems and suggests guitar chords with mood descriptions—complete with ambient chord playback.

• Iran–US Conflict Map

  Interactive D3.js map tracking key events, military operations, economic disruptions, and humanitarian impacts of the 2026 Iran–US conflict. Scrollable timeline animates the war day by day.

• Iran Conflict Operational Intelligence Dashboard

  Multi-view React dashboard for the 2026 Iran–US conflict. Escalation index, impact metrics, regional map, strategic chokepoints, event log, actor force posture, and scenario pathways — built for defense and intelligence-adjacent analysis.

• NOVA Data Center Energy Usage

  Interactive D3 project translating utility filings, environmental data, and infrastructure reporting into a scrollytelling view of how Northern Virginia's data center boom is reshaping energy demand, water use, and grid strain.

• Poem Short Generator — System Specification

  Technical system specification document for an automated poetry generation pipeline. Details the architecture, data flows, processing stages, and component interactions of an AI-augmented creative content system.

• FlowState: Supply Chain Resilience Simulator

  Interactive supply chain simulator built on a colored Petri Net engine. Model 8-stage supply chains with animated token flow, inject disruption scenarios, and detect bottlenecks in real time.

• The Yield Curve — An Interactive History

  Interactive D3.js visualization tracing 34 years of US Treasury yield curve history. Explore how the curve has shifted through recessions, expansions, and pivotal economic moments.

Creative / Product Experiments

Projects that show range, product instinct, and personality. These are part of the story, but not the first place I would point a recruiter.

• Beltway Realms

  An experimental portfolio world that reimagines Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. as a fantasy/cyberpunk map, turning case studies into quests and front-end navigation into a playful exploration system.

• Beltway Realms Card Database

  Full-stack searchable card database built around 700 cards, SQLite FTS5 search, side-by-side comparison, synergy-aware loadout logic, community ratings, and a lightweight analytics layer.
