About me:

I am an experienced Project Manager and Data Scientist, currently working as a Senior Analyst in Risk Advisory for Deloitte Perth. I have a Masters of Data Science with Distinction from the University of Western Australia.


Prior to my Data Science career, I worked as a Project Manager in the medical communications industry. I have continued my work in the industry as a remote freelancer and now have over 8 years of experience. I am always on the lookout for exciting roles where I can apply both my project management and analytical skills.


I also have an interest in web development, and have been very fortunate to be able to apply my skills in an ongoing project for Axiom Health Medical Communications. See the Portfolio section below for more information.

Portfolio



Axiom Congress Feedback Portal

  • My most recent project has been designing and developing the Congress Feedback Portal for Axiom Health Ltd.
  • The Portal is designed for gathering feedback from healthcare professionals (HCPs) at medical congresses.
  • Some screenshots of the portal are displayed to the left:
    1. HCPs sign in to the Portal with their own username and password
    2. The home page is tailored to each HCP
    3. They can see the list of congress abstracts they are requested to give feedback on, and click a link to take them to each individual survey, hosted on a separate survey platform. They can also toggle the Completed button when they have finished a survey.
  • As Axiom's sole developer, I designed and built this Portal from scratch using Bootstrap, Flask and PostgreSQL.
  • The Portal is hosted on Heroku and deployed with GitHub.



Data Science Portfolio

  • Click on the GitHub logo to the left to visit my data science portolio repository.
  • It is a collection of select machine learning and data analysis projects completed for academic purposes, as examples of my data science work.
  • It is a work-in-progress, so more projects will be added to the repository once complete.
