Hi I'm Jen
Software Engineer based in Vancouver Canada. By day, I work with the Detroit Tigers on the Baseball Operations team. I help coaches, scouts and front office staff make the best decisions to help the Tigers win a World Series.
By night, I follow my curiosity! I work on my Spanish, play underwater hockey, or experiment with a new ice cream flavor. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?

Baseball is a sport of data, lots of it! Players and coaches can leverage the use of the data collected to improve their performance. This project visualized pitcher data to indicate success rate as a function of speed and pitch type.
Technologies used:
The Japanese Professional Softball League is always looking for foreign players to play in the league. However, language barriers and geography makes it difficult to recruit and find players who are available to play. Players created profiles and provided video to show their skills, and coaches were able to view the profiles and contact the players within the app through a chat room equipped with a translator. The project made it easy for Japanese coaches to view players who are available to play for the season and communicate with the players they were interested in.
Technologies used:
Started as a Toastmaster’s project, this podcast tells the “Olympic Story.” The trials, tribulations, blood, sweat and tears of what it takes to reach the pinnacle of sport.
NCAA softball statistics are notoriously disparate and fragmented. This project scraped data from the NCAA website in order to consolidate and draw conclusions from the data that was available.
Technologies used:
A common problem with Toastmasters clubs is the delegation of roles for each meeting. Often, long email chains are used to sign up for the week’s meeting which can become hard to keep track of. This project created a central location where members could go and drag and drop their name into a role in advance.
Technologies used:
Local governments collect traffic data at regular intervals throughout the year. With this data, our public servants are better equipped to make decisions surrounding allocation of resources towards the city’s infrastructure.
