PROFILE
Karen
Worked on the chicagomaroon/data-visualizations repository, delivering a robust suite of data-driven dashboards and interactive visualizations for financial and governance analytics. Built and maintained data pipelines that ingested, cleaned, and parsed SEC filings, IRS Form 990s, and ETF holdings, using Python scripting, Pandas, and regex for data processing and validation. Enhanced front-end experiences with D3.js, JavaScript, and responsive CSS, implementing features like Sankey diagrams, lollipop charts, and mobile-optimized UIs. Addressed data integrity and visualization reliability through rigorous bug fixing, code refactoring, and asset management, enabling accurate, accessible, and maintainable reporting tools for stakeholders and editorial teams.
