What I’m Doing Now

Spring 2021

This semester I am working two jobs, taking 7 credit hours at Ohio State, working on a personal project, and focusing on a few habits for my personal growth and well-being. 

Ohio State University

I graduate in May and am just taking two classes to finish up my Data Analytics degree and general education requirements:

  • Data Analytics Capstone (STAT 4911)
  • Intro to Linguistics (LING 2000)

Consulting

I work for LARI Life Settlement as a data science development consultant. LARI is a life settlement exchange providing investors with a platform for researching and securing life settlement assets. The exchange maintains life insurance financial data and medical data covering the insured. In the past I have worked independently on various projects using the Podio API, Globiflow, ProcFu, PHP, Amazon Web Services (S3, MySQL, etc.), Python, R, RShiny, and Natural Language Processing to export insurance cases, generate statistics on cases, extract relevant medical conditions from medical files, as well as various other projects. Much of this work is performed remotely, with trips for team meetings.

Lorikeet Study

Lorikeet enteritis is one of the most common causes of death in lorikeets under human care. As a research assistant for the College of Veterinary Sciences at Ohio State, I am working on a study to determine if there are any microbial taxa or combinations of microbial taxa that appear before infection in the hopes of preventing Lorikeet enteritis.

Personal Project – Van Repair and Conversion

I’m working on repairing and converting a 2000 Chevy Express into a camper van. Originally knowing nothing about auto maintenance and repair, as well as woodworking, construction, etc., this is a challenging and fun project for me.

Life

Outside of this, I have the following commitments to myself in order to live a balanced and healthy life:

  • Working out in the morning every weekday
  • Meditating in the evening every weekday
  • Disconnecting from all work or school related activities by 8:30 PM everyday
