Randall Mentzos

B.S. Information Science from University of Maryland expected in May - 3.91 in-major GPA. I specialize in Python, R, and Pandas, also familiar with HTML/CSS and SQL. 11 years customer service, sales, & social media marketing experience. I would describe myself as charismatic, meticulous, big-picture creative, a detailed communicator, and energetic leader. I have worked in various restaurants, both fine dining and high-volume locations. These jobs required a mastery of fast-paced sales, adaptive customer service and appropriate communication for each group of clients, and effective time management. I often served and catered business luncheons and banquets as well. My flexibility, interpersonal skills, and sales instincts flourished in this environment. I have built a small enterprise from my skills as a musician, booking my own tours and recording my own albums, with trackable fanbases in 8 major cities in the southeastern U.S. This afforded me considerable leadership and networking skills, the ability to market effectively and engage followers from an online platform, and the ability to think on my feet in uncertain territory. I can attribute much of my leadership potential to my act Terrain. www.instagram.com/terrainofficial Additionally, I have experience as a telecommunications technician at Bridgman Communications, who was expected to perform customer-facing labor at job sites throughout the Northern Virginia / DC area as well as administrative office tasks such as collections, invoices, and records. I am a certified Allworx VoIP Phone technician. Other talents include writing, public speaking, persuasion, networking, and learning technical skills quickly. I can offer a rare combination of both STEM-related problem solving and communication skills to any data-driven decision making team that must communicate its vision to other stakeholders. My long-term goal is to gain experience as a data analyst, learn the role of data architect, and eventually combine my data science knowledge with a future career in high-level cybersecurity. Driven Restaurant Server with 12 years of foodservice experience. Skillful in memorizing detailed menus for thorough customer education. Commended and recognized for maintaining positive attitude and great sense of humor during peak hours.
