Data & Analytics Projects

NYS Health Dashboard

The Problem: Local health departments spend countless hours manually gathering and visualizing data for their Community Health Assessments.

My Solution: Developed a dynamic dashboard using Python and Streamlit that consolidates public data sources, allowing for instant generation of county-level visualizations and AI summaries.

The Impact: This tool drastically reduces research time and empowers data-driven decision-making for public health initiatives.

NYS Food Violations Tracker

The Problem: Public health inspection data is crucial for consumer safety but is often difficult to access in a timely manner.

My Solution: This application connects directly to the NYS health data API to pull and display the most recent food service establishment violations in real-time.

The Impact: Empowers consumers with transparent, up-to-the-minute access to food safety records, promoting accountability.

Development Hub & Analytics Sandbox

This is a sandbox environment for building and testing new applications, including my current work on an NBA analytics project. This app uses machine learning to dive into NBA statistics, focusing on player performance metrics, shot charting, and advanced data visualizations. The hub also includes frameworks for features like subscription and paywall systems.
