data director at Mississippi Data Hub
I turn raw data, from ticket prices to live feeds, into something a team can run on. Pipelines in dbt and BigQuery, automation in Python, results in the browser.
11,352people found their polling place
I built a nonpartisan polling place finder in under two days, from the data pipeline to the mobile experience. Launched a week before the 2026 election; reached 21,390 visitors and all 82 Mississippi counties.

Live wait times at every polling site in New York City during the 2025 mayoral primary, rolled up to Council, Assembly, Senate, Congressional, and Election District.
170,891early votes tracked, 2026 primary
A live early-vote dashboard for Travis County, Texas: daily turnout and partisanship paced against 2024, with a model projection of where the final count lands.
2,229seat leave-one-out RMSE
A Python package and CLI that forecasts Mississippi State home-game attendance from season-relative resale prices. Its first saved live forecast missed by 1,978 and covered the actual crowd in its 80% range.
32special elections, 13 states
A hand-built precinct dataset comparing 2026 special-election results with 2024 presidential margins, generic-ballot polling, and presidential approval at the time of each race.
~530transfers, 2022 to 2024
How well Group of Five players hold up after moving to the Power Five: regression and correlation analysis by position group on PFF data.
dbt projects laid out as staging, intermediate, and marts on BigQuery, with data-quality tests in the pipeline and fuzzy matching where the source systems disagree about who a record is.
Python that replaces manual work: browser automation with Playwright, TOTP-authenticated logins, REST clients packaged as reusable libraries, pytest suites, and jobs scheduled on Google Cloud and GitHub Actions.
Precinct and boundary work in QGIS: matching, consolidating, and geocoding at scale with Census boundary data and batch geocoders, then turning the result into maps a decision can rest on.
Code-based BI in Observable Framework on top of warehouse marts, deployed like software, plus the application layer around it when a dashboard is not enough.
Statewide GOTV texting from lists and scripts through A/B tests and opt-out screening; race and age models; turnout-first targeting; and VAN, text, and ad audiences built from voter files and partner records in BigQuery.
Data Science coursework. CSCI 101, Foundations of Data Science and Engineering, grade A.
B.A., History. Coursework in Statistics, Computer Programming, and Public Policy. Dean's List twice, President's List Spring 2023.
A precinct-level dataset built by hand across 32 special elections in 13 states, comparing each result with the 2024 presidential vote, the generic-ballot average, and presidential approval on election day.
Roughly 530 players who moved from the Group of Five to the Power Five between 2022 and 2024, with regression and correlation analysis by position group on PFF grades.

I'm the Data Director at Mississippi Data Hub, where I started in September 2026. I ran a statewide GOTV texting program that reached 415,090 voters in all 82 counties, built race and age models and turnout targeting, and delivered partner data tools in BigQuery and VAN. I also built Where Do I Vote MS, the MS Data Hub's election dashboards, and Turfbook, which 11 partner groups used to coordinate canvassing.
SQL, dbt, and BigQuery for modeling and warehousing. Python with pandas, pytest, and Playwright for automation. Observable Framework for code-based BI. QGIS and the Census API for geospatial work. GitHub Actions and Google Cloud for scheduling and CI.
Sports, civic data, and operational analytics. I build football attendance forecasts, live dashboards, data pipelines, and geospatial analysis. My case studies cover how the systems work; my articles explore what the data says.
