Research Associate and Project Manager
Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC
- Troubleshooting problems using a breadth of computational and statistical knowledge for implementation of best practices and expanded improvement initiatives.
- Developed and deployed a PostgreSQL database on AWS RDS to store Canadian SARS-CoV-2 case and sequencing information.
- Developed and deployed an interactive dashboard on Heroku that implements an ETL pipeline to display live Canadian SARS-CoV-2 case and vaccination data.
- Developed a ML software package in Python that automatically detects outliers in longitudinal data using multiple statistical strategies and forecasts future timepoints.
- Analyzed BC socioeconomic and COVID-19 vaccination data from multiple sources. Built and evaluated linear regression models to determine factors influencing vaccine uptake.
