About Kailen S.

I am a data analyst with a passion for data visualization and storytelling, and a recent graduate with an M.Sc. in Data Analytics and Visualization from the Pratt Institute. My goal is to join a mission-driven company that values data-driven insights and creating products with a societal impact.My most recent experience was as a data engagement intern at Numina, a computer vision company that provides street-level insights for urban planners and policymakers. There, I analyzed spatiotemporal data using SQL and Python tools, participated in a company-wide statistic accuracy analysis, prepared custom analysis reports and visualizations for customers, and supported the growth team initiatives as the representative data expert. Previously, I worked as a software engineer on Apple\'s iOS System Experience team, where I integrated software changes in Git, enhanced iOS CI/CD workflows, and developed a novel error reporting system for an ML project. Before that, I was a data journalist for Open Data Science Conference LLC, covering data science topics and creating coding tutorials. I have a strong background in programming and quantitative research, with skills in Python, SQL, Javascript, HTML5, Git, and Agile Development Methodologies. I also have a keen interest in purpose-driven research and causes. I am always eager to learn new technologies, methodologies, and domains, and to collaborate with diverse and talented teams. I believe that data can be a powerful tool for creating positive change in the world, and I am excited to apply my skills and experience to meaningful projects and challenges.
