Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTyler Davis is an applications development senior programmer analyst with 10 years of experience building data pipelines and newsroom tooling, currently based in Greater Tampa Bay. He turns messy, disparate datasets into contextualized metrics and user-friendly interfaces—especially for non-technical stakeholders—using Python and Django. At The Chronicle of Higher Education he automated revenue-generating data projects and launched a foundational nonprofit tax database; at Citi he continues to apply those data engineering skills in a corporate environment. An active contributor to open-source testing and backend work (including enhancing ZIP+4 generation and unit tests in the JVM-focused datafaker project), he pairs rigorous QA practices with practical feature development. His background in journalism and a CS master’s gives him a rare blend of storytelling instincts and technical rigor when presenting data.
