Work History

Analyst

Heartland Community Network
05.2024 - Current
  • Began as an Analyst Intern, where I supported the QA and analytics teams in data cleaning, performance monitoring, and automation scripting, later transitioning into a full-time QA Business Analyst role based on demonstrated technical proficiency and analytical contributions.
  • Used SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and Python (Pandas, NumPy) to extract, clean, and analyze internal performance data, identifying trends and anomalies that led to improved decision-making.
  • Created and maintained interactive dashboards in Power BI, visualizing QA metrics, defect trends, system performance, and cycle times to support executive reporting and agile delivery.
  • Automated recurring data processes and testing reports through custom Python scripts, reducing manual QA effort by 40% and increasing reporting accuracy.
  • Participated in root cause analysis (RCA) sessions and provided technical insights on defect trends, which contributed to long-term process improvements and faster resolution cycles.
  • Collaborated closely with developers, testers, and product owners to gather business requirements, define QA benchmarks, and ensure end-to-end testing aligned with organizational goals.
  • Assisted in writing and executing UAT test cases, documenting results, and tracking issues using Jira during Agile sprints to ensure successful release outcomes.
  • Played a key role in documenting QA workflows, business logic, and test strategies, ensuring knowledge transfer and compliance with internal standards.
  • Attended and contributed to daily stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and stakeholder meetings, enhancing team collaboration and communication across departments.
  • Supported digital transformation initiatives by evaluating data quality, recommending automation solutions, and aligning QA practices with evolving business objectives.

Project

AES-DSA Secure Communication Protocol:As part of a security-focused academic project, I developed and tested a hybrid encryption protocol that combined Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data confidentiality with Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) for authentication and integrity.

  • The goal was to enhance the security of e-commerce transactions by ensuring both encrypted data transmission and verified sender identity.
  • I designed test cases to simulate real-world attack scenarios and validate the robustness of the encryption pipeline. Through rigorous testing using tools like Selenium and JMeter, I identified and resolved over 150 software defects, which significantly improved system reliability and reduced the potential for data breaches.
  • The final protocol offered a scalable and secure model suitable for integration into commercial platforms.

Image Collection Automation:I developed a Python-based NLP tool to automate the process of creating datasets for machine learning workflows, specifically focusing on collecting and organizing labeled image data. By leveraging keyword extraction and intelligent scraping techniques, the tool streamlined the image gathering process based on contextual queries.

  • This automation reduced manual effort and significantly improved the efficiency of data preparation in machine learning projects.
  • It also enhanced consistency and scalability across multiple testing workflows, accelerating project timelines.

National Park Recommender System:Developed a web-based recommender system using Python and Django to suggest U.S. national parks based on user preferences such as location, park size, and activities. Implemented content-based filtering using TF-IDF vectorization and collaborative filtering to enhance recommendation accuracy by combining user behavior with park attributes.

  • Preprocessed large volumes of text data through custom NLP functions for tokenization, lemmatization, and stopword removal, improving model performance. Enabled users to register, log in, and receive personalized park recommendations, contributing to a dynamic and scalable tourism-focused platform.
