Learned how to translate client questions into statistical workflows, clean survey data, compare pre/post responses, communicate limitations, and turn analysis into recommendations for a non-technical audience.
Built intuition for model selection, validation, feature preparation, classification metrics, Random Forests, Logistic Regression, SVMs, and how to explain model tradeoffs responsibly.
Practiced cleaning, joining, reshaping, visualizing, and documenting datasets with pandas, NumPy, tidyverse, ggplot2, and reproducible notebook-style workflows.
Applied scraping, tokenization, word-frequency analysis, sentiment scoring, and narrative comparison to extract insight from unstructured text.
Focused on dashboard design, visual clarity, stakeholder reporting, and choosing charts that make patterns, trends, and decisions easier to see.
Worked with multispectral imagery, raster data pipelines, environmental variables, and visual analysis for risk assessment and public-health research contexts.
