Experience
Strategic Pricing Developer - Vail Resorts - November 2019-February 2020
Part-time role through the Pricing Analytics team, where I improved upon the automation I created for a project as an intern. The project involved around 60 hours of work.
Guest Retention Analyst - Vail Resorts - February 2019-November 2019
Maintained a reporting suite leveraging Alteryx and Tableau to produce automated high-visibility reports on a daily basis and worked cross-functionally with other teams to provide support on business critical questions. I was in charge of managing the Alteryx Server environment for my department and daily runs of workflows that built datasets and dashboards to support decisions by the EC. I was also an administrator on the Tableau Online environment and I helped manage it.
PredictCrypto.com - May 2018-Present
Ongoing independent project where I look at the drivers of cryptocurrency price changes and test different trading strategies. The point of the project is to boost my own learning by exploring interesting topics and tools in data science, by creating tutorials that teach people programming. What’s unique about my tutorials however, is that they are designed to use data that is never more than 1 hour old, and to provide interesting tutorials that also happen to create semi-live predictive models that could actually be used to make trades on the cryptocurrency markets. In fact, I currently use these completely automated systems to perform trades, and I currently have the capability of having automated trading systems run for 4 separate exchanges at once using 4 different XGBoost models. I have outlined this entire process step by step in an Alteryx Use Case that was approved and published: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Use-Cases/Predicting-and-Trading-on-the-Cryptocurrency-Markets-using/ta-p/494058
