As a graduate of the Humanities, the language arts will forever be close to my heart. As someone with a hobby in tech, and jobs spanning various tech-affiliated areas, my writing currently tends more towards the Technical (i.e. informative) rather than expository (i.e. argumentative) form.
Note that, as a lot of my actual technical writing is produced for internal use, I cannot provide full examples here for many projects. I am able to send excerpted segments in "password-protected" form upon request. (See cumberland_writing_sample_2018.128.pdf
and cumberland_writing_sample_2021.128.pdf
for example.) There is NO sensitive, proprietary, or personal information included in either document.
That said, I do have a number of publicly available publications:
- Seed Grants of Change: Building Thriving Networks Among Female Geotechnical Faculty was published in 2021 in The Journal of Civil Engineering Education.
- Another paper ("State of the Field: Changing Geotechnical Faculty Demographics and Recognition") has been accepted for publication at GeoCongress 2022, that will be linked here when it is published [Available upon request]
- My undergraduate thesis is here
cumberland_undergrad_thesis_2016.pdf
as well, on the subject of Japanese colonialism in the post-Meiji era.
Anything that is an (.ipynb) file. Note: more recent projects aren't mine to show off here (proprietary data), but I can discuss them in terms of procedure, scope, and impact.
- The GTWF website has some interactive graphics which I created in Plotly and exported from the project GitHub:
data_hdi_project_TESTS
I took data from the United Nations Development Program and replicated some visualizations from their website in Python. I would be interested in re-doing the visuals with Plot.ly rather than matplotlib.data_sentiment-analysis_soup
Our course tutorial learning how to use the python librarybeautiful_soup
for basic NLP and text manipulation, including removing punctuation, filler words, and custom dictionaries.
un_presentation
Mock-up presentation that discusses the UNDP (from a contemporary technical standpoint, nothing from Vijay Prashad's histories of the UN sadly).
- I created (both site and content) for the GeoTechnical Women Faculty Project at Syracuse University: GTWF site
- Including a very simple, "hidden" timeline: Timeline
- I run my own website, which is a lesson in not learning PHP by first implementing it on production. I have recently moved it back to WordPress, and am trying to get the markdown all converted to 'block.' Unfortunately, this is slow work, and so many of the posts are...hideous.
- Updated database at Syracuse University for Geotechnical Women Faculty (GTWF) Project of U.S.-based geotechnical faculty. Observations of change between my updated "snapshot" and 2016 were the basis for the paper "State of the Field" (see above).
- Created customized database and corresponding "office BlueBook" for a university in Washington, D.C. that collected a decade of historical data from across departments and generated projections for the future
- Resulted in 200-pages of documentation
- Thousands of unique entries
Not exactly an easy to show off skill, but I grew up using Linux and in the fall of 2014 taught myself bash scripting (as I was waiting to begin university in Seattle). Since then, I've continued to learn more about GNU/Linux systems. Currently on a derivative of Arch linux, btw
- 2022.01.22: SUSE Linux Certified Administration (SCA) Certificate Received! ID #2321
- Comfortable with bash scripts, Linux networking, system maintenance and the advanced Linux kernel (see my LinkedIn)
For some IRL networking etc skill demonstration, check out the "Homelab" setup I helped setup and maintain during COVID. Write up here on github
