Engineer

I am passionate about problem-solving and adept at figuring things out. With a strong foundation in 3D modeling and physical prototyping, I've recently focused on Advanced Analytical Web Applications. Here, I combine my creativity and technical skills to create impactful, user-centric digital solutions.


Experience

Advanced Analytical Web Applications Developer
Waterfront Council Diversity Dashboard

2023

The Waterfront Council Diversity Dashboard, developed for the Waterfront DEI Council, facilitates transparent and precise measurement of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the waterfront industry using various data visualization tools. Key tasks involved data cleaning, organizing, establishing the logic for demographic data display, implementing user authentication, and working with professionals to meet client-specific requirements. Users can analyze and compare demographic data, including gender, minority status, and disability across the industry and within their own companies. The dashboard's primary accomplishment is providing employers with a tool to monitor and evaluate employment equity progress, meeting client needs and ensuring its active use and maintenance.
