Developed and maintained a suite of analytical and educational resources in the ksgeist/Merrimack_DSE6630 repository over three months, focusing on public health analytics and bioinformatics. Built R Markdown notebooks for hospital readmission and gene expression analysis, implementing data cleaning, spatial regression, and RNA-Seq workflows using R and Tidyverse. Enhanced demo readiness by optimizing data caching and packaging artefacts for distribution. Expanded educational materials with synchronized updates across R Markdown and HTML, covering differential gene expression, PCA, volcano plots, and machine learning models such as random forest and support vector machines. Prioritized documentation consistency and reproducibility throughout the project.
July 2025: Deliverables focused on enriching educational materials in ksgeist/Merrimack_DSE6630. Implemented comprehensive updates to Demo_3 across R Markdown and HTML, consolidating content for differential gene expression, PCA and volcano plots, and model reporting (Random Forest, SVM). Enhanced DESeq2 comparison explanations, kernel performance insights, and author/content notes to improve educational value and consistency. The work included rigorous doc synchronization across formats to ensure learners have a coherent, up-to-date resource. Business value includes clearer learning paths, improved content quality, faster onboarding for analysts/students, and improved content reproducibility.
