Summary
🎓
Top SchoolPeter Amerkhanian is a research-focused data professional with 8+ years building robust Python/R/SQL pipelines, interactive visualizations, and statistical models to inform public-sector decisions. Currently a Research Analyst in UC's Admissions Analytics Unit, he has delivered end-to-end data products—from a productionized EBT theft reporting pipeline and Tableau dashboards to a Hidden Markov skimmer-detection prototype that aided law enforcement collaboration. His work spans city and state governments, nonprofits, and academia, combining rigorous modeling, version-controlled code with unit tests, and clear stakeholder communication. Trained at UC Berkeley in public policy and applied data science, he brings a rare mix of policy domain expertise and practical engineering discipline, including a history of automating tedious workflows (e.g., reducing a grade-data migration from days to minutes).
