My job involves engineering tools to process data in efficient ways (these models have a LOT of data most of the time) using a scrum methodology. I generally program in R, R Shiny, and SQL Server. I also perform data validation, data maintenance, and regularly conduct research using a wide range of data analysis techniques.
