NLSY79-based analysis of economic and family outcomes using longitudinal fixed-effects, count, and survival-model approaches; documented model-specific samples, sensitivity checks, and source-to-claim controls.

GIS-informed research into infrastructure access and water/wastewater risk in McDowell County, West Virginia. Integrated terrain and route analysis, spatial source inventories, stakeholder evidence, and implementation-oriented public-health decision support.

Public-source synthesis of WASH systems, displacement context, environmental-health indicators, and health-system disruption. Research emphasizes provenance, coverage limitations, and reproducible analytical boundaries.

Research development involving cancer care-quality and end-of-life outcome typologies, ECG signal-quality assessment, PET imaging robustness, and responsible machine-learning evaluation on appropriate datasets.

Source manifests, audit trails, deterministic validation, review gates, reproducible reports, and machine-readable checks supporting rigorous public research and document workflows.

Bounded transcription, entity normalization, uncertainty annotation, scholarly authority layers, and provenance-preserving processing of public-history and historical-text evidence.

Selected for a global health fellowship focused on international public-health engagement, interdisciplinary discussion, and shared decision-making across global health challenges.

Accepted into the Handshake AI Fellowship for project-based opportunities in AI evaluation and software engineering. No specific project assignment or completed fellowship work is claimed.

Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth; recognized within the incoming health data science cohort for dedication to improving health outcomes.

• Coordinated multi-county incident triage, disaster-response dispatch, team activation, resource tracking, and escalations in time-sensitive regional operations.

• Established an interdisciplinary research and engineering practice spanning public health, biomedical informatics, quantitative economics, geographic analysis, and responsible machine-learning evaluation.
• Design and deliver Python/R research pipelines, statistical models, neural-network workflows, full-stack applications, APIs, dashboards, reproducible tests, provenance controls, and cloud deployments.
• Maintain an experimental laboratory integrating Windows/Linux infrastructure, network engineering, software-defined radio, GNSS, ADS-B, sensors, and air-gapped systems. Research prototypes are distinguished from operationally certified systems.

• Founded and operated a small IT services business, leading client relationships, scope and technology planning, procurement, implementation, and long-term support.
• Designed Windows server and directory services, business networks, back-end systems, QuickBooks/accounting environments, email services, and customer websites.

• Worked in a high-accountability corrections environment requiring safety protocols, emergency response, accurate reporting, confidentiality, and operational discipline.

• Performed multi-source intelligence analysis, communications-pattern assessment, network-structure interpretation, and mission-support reporting under formal procedural and security controls.

Built a municipal common operating picture for Plymouth, Massachusetts that joins GIS, public-health indicators, civic records, infrastructure context, and a decision register. Preserves source freshness and public-agency authority distinctions.

Integrated five public-health/environmental source adapters covering respiratory and wastewater indicators, environmental alerts, and air quality. The interface distinguishes state, territory, and FEMA-region geography and source-completeness boundaries.

Engineered employer-source job discovery, local CV-based role ranking, compensation/benefit comparison, browser-local application records, exports, and preparation workflows. Application submission remains user-controlled.

Developed a local situational-awareness display integrating SDR spectrum, ADS-B aircraft mapping, ACARS intake, passive receiver observations, GeoJSON layers, stream health, and source-provenance information.

Created reproducible, descriptive longitudinal care-trajectory methods with explicit synthetic-data testing, traceable transformation rules, and evaluation of missingness and interpretation limits.

Designed general-purpose study setup, data dictionaries, reproducible Python/R workflows, synthetic examples, validation checks, and data-governance documentation.

Engineering a cybersecurity incident-evidence platform for outages, vulnerabilities, source provenance, and operational-failure reporting.
