   Oct 2024 — Present · New York, NY, US

   As an Hourly Project Assistant-2 at Health Research, Inc, I supported the enhancement of the CLIMS HCS platform for the New York State Department of Health by combining front-end development with data analysis. My work focused on modernizing the internal web portal using Angular to streamline workflows and improve user experience. I developed and optimized SQL queries to improve backend data access, reducing retrieval times by 25%, and automated data processing tasks using Python, resulting in a 40% increase in efficiency. I also built dynamic Excel reports connected to SQL queries, enabling real-time, self-service access for non-technical stakeholders. Collaborating with UI/UX designers, I helped improve platform usability through heatmap analysis and iterative feedback, which reduced bounce rates by 15%. I participated in Agile ceremonies, used JIRA for sprint tracking, and implemented Git-based version control. Additionally, I ensured HIPAA-compliant security by setting up role-based access controls and assisted DevOps in deploying micro updates to ensure high system availability. I maintained detailed documentation of metadata repositories and API endpoints, which facilitated onboarding and knowledge transfer across teams. This role allowed me to apply both my technical and collaborative skills to advance a critical public health infrastructure.
