Timothy Dennehy

Data Specialist - Data Analytics @NYC Public Schools

New York, NY, US

I support the Office of Assessment in streamlining and optimizing the standardized testing process for the New York public school system, utilizing advanced data management techniques to ensure accurate distribution, administration, and scoring of tests. My efforts focus on enhancing workflow processes by improving Python-based software tools, developing reporting systems, and integrating complex Excel-based optimization algorithms to monitor educator activities and prevent conflicts of interest.I revamped a non-user-friendly Python package, creating a more efficient reporting process that improved test progress tracking and quality assurance. Additionally, I designed and implemented a comprehensive teacher monitoring system, combining Python and Excel-based optimization algorithms to ensure teachers could not score their own students, enhancing transparency and compliance.Utilizing data visualization platforms like Google Looker Studio and Power BI, I effectively managed and secured data for over 1.2 million standardized tests, ensuring accuracy and reliability throughout the process.
