Home: Welcome

Hello!

My name is Trisha and I am a third year student at the University of Washington studying Informatics with a concentration in Data Science. I firmly believe in the power of data to tell stories, drive decision-making and optimize business functions. In my time at UW, I've strengthened my coding skills along with developing my leadership, collaborative, and interpersonal skills. I'm proficient in multiple programming languages like Java, Python, SQL, and R. I'm also well-versed in common data visualization tools like Tableau and PowerBI. I've applied these skills not only in my rigorous coursework in the Information School, but in my personal projects as well. I'm always looking for new opportunities where I can gain hands-on experience and further develop my skills!

Relevant Coursework

Computer Programming I and II

CSE 142 + 143

Introduction to basic programming in Java. Learned about procedural programming, recursion, file processing, arrays, and data structures like stacks, queues, linked lists, and binary trees. 


Data Structures and Algorithms

CSE 373

Covered fundamental algorithms and data structures necessary for implementation. Learned about common techniques for solving problems by programming. Dove deeper into linked lists, stacks, queues, directed graphs, trees (representations, traversals), and searching (hashing, binary search trees, multiway trees).

Research Methods

INFO 300

Introduction to research methods used to understand people's interactions with information, information technology, and information systems. Learned how to conduct qualitative and quantitative research studies, and applied design methods for answering questions in both research and practical settings.

Databases and Data Modeling

INFO 330

Introduction to database systems and the SQL language. Learned about industry-best practices in SQL like stored procedures, computed columns, business rules, and complex queries. Covered the relational model, entity-relationship modeling, three-tier architectures, implementation of database applications, and non-relational databases. Briefly went over data visualization tools -- Tableau and PowerBI.

Client-side Development

INFO 340

Introduction to client-side development on the internet, including markup, programming languages, protocols, libraries, and frameworks for creating and maintaining usable and accessible, interactive applications.

Core Methods in Data Science

INFO 370

Surveys the major topics within data science, including data ingestion, cloud computing, statistical inference, machine learning, information visualization, and data ethics. Used Python libraries like Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-Learn, and TensorFlow

Elements Of Statistical Methods

STAT 311

Covered descriptive statistics including correlation and regression. Introductory concepts of probability and sampling; binomial and normal distributions. Learned about the basic concepts of hypothesis testing, estimation, and confidence intervals; t-tests and chi-square tests. Conducted statistical analyses in R.

Matrix Algebra With Applications

MATH 308

Learned about systems of linear equations, vector spaces, matrices, subspaces, orthogonality, least squares, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, applications.
