Over four months, contributed to the UI-Research/mobility-from-poverty repository by building end-to-end data workflows, scalable AWS S3 storage utilities, and robust metrics pipelines for city and county-level analysis. Leveraged R, Python, and Quarto to integrate multi-year datasets, automate data cleaning, and implement quality checks, supporting reproducible reporting and decision-making. Enhanced digital access and economic connectedness metrics through data wrangling, crosswalk management, and demographic accuracy improvements. Modernized the user interface with Bootstrap Icons and improved documentation for transparency. The work emphasized automated, governance-friendly data processing, streamlined storage, and comprehensive QA, resulting in production-ready datasets and maintainable, transparent reporting artifacts.
March 2025 performance summary for UI-Research/mobility-from-poverty: Delivered end-to-end data integration for the 2025 metrics release, consolidating data from multiple years (2018, 2023), implementing missing-subgroup imputation, standardizing data loading/processing, and applying thorough county-level quality checks to produce a coherent final dataset. Implemented demographic accuracy improvements for race/ethnicity categorization, correcting mappings for 'Other Races and Ethnicities' and ensuring consistent labeling for Hispanic individuals to support reliable demographic analyses in reports. Enhanced reporting and documentation to boost usability and methodological transparency: clarified CI calculation methodology (noting the use of qnorm), updated publication dates/generator versions, adjusted county data points for accuracy, and improved HTML/Quarto presentation. Achieved production readiness with crosswalk fixes, data-gap remediation, and rendering of the final combined files. Technologies/skills demonstrated include data pipeline standardization, data imputation, crosswalk processing, comprehensive QA across counties, and improved documentation and frontend presentation.
