The following is a portfolio of my work and research while a graduate student at San Jose State University’s School of Information pursuing a Master of Science degree in Informatics.
My Informatics study has centered around my desire and attempts to enable streams of data to become information and flow out into the larger digital collective consciousness. In short, I want to help out with humanity’s efforts to elegantly and effectively store and retrieve information.
Specifically, my portfolio focuses on the following efforts:
- Research about, writing on, and development of data schemas
- Development and analysis of digital asset management (DAM) and electronic records management (ERM) systems
- Wrangling, cleaning, visualizing, and enabling better, easier access to an odd but fascinating dataset: UFO Sightings over the past century
In accordance with iSchool requirements, my portfolio focuses on the following SJSU School of Information Planned Learning Outcomes (PLOs):

Introduction
I hereby introduce a portfolio of my work and research while a graduate student at San Jose State University’s School of Information pursuing a Master of Science degree in Informatics. My Informatics study has centered around my desire and attempts to enable streams of data to become information and flow out into the larger digital collective consciousness. In short, I want to help out with humanity’s efforts to elegantly and effectively store and retrieve information.
Specifically, my portfolio focuses on the following efforts:
- Research and writing about metadata schemas
- Development and analysis of digital asset management systems
- Wrangling, cleaning, visualizing, and enabling better, easier access to an odd but fascinating dataset: UFO Sightings over the past century
This portfolio aims to demonstrate my competency in the following San Jose State University Master of Science in Informatics Program Learning Outcomes (core competencies):
- Apply technology informatics skills to solve specific industry data and information management problems, with a focus on usability and designing for users;
- Evaluate, manage, and develop electronic records programs and applications in a specific organizational setting;
- Demonstrate strong understanding of security and ethics issues related to informatics, user interface, and inter-professional application of informatics in specific fields by designing and implementing appropriate information assurance and ethics and privacy solutions;
- Identify user needs, ideate informatics products and services, prototype new concepts, and evaluate a prototype’s usability;
- Work collaboratively in teams and use project management practices effectively to solve user- centric information and data problems;
- Conduct informatics analysis and visualization applied to different real-world fields, such as health science and sports.
