Background

About Brian Robinson

Leveraging skills in data analysis, Power BI and Python development, and data science I have transformed processes, reports, and workflows in my current department. These include custom Python scripts (for both ETL and data science processes) and Power BI reports that solve previously laborious and lengthy processes, predict inventory levels based on historic trends, categorize incoming inventory based on historic data. Most recently, I built an end-to-end supervised ML alogrithm for deployment via API as part of a new business initiative. This required that I create a process that collects, cleans, and standardizes historic and current data into a single dataset that tracks metrics which are used for tagging incoming inventory for expedited processing. Pivoting to data science, focusing on the power of data to understand the present in hopes of improving the future using machine learning. Highly developed skills in Power BI, Excel, and Python, and a strong proficiency in SQL, R, Statistical Analysis with Stats, machine learning, web scraping. Proven effective in leading organizations to change via data analysis and research. Previously a professor of religion focusing on early Christian & Second Temple Jewish literature. My first book, Being Subordinate Men: Paul's Rhetoric of Gender and Power in 1 Corinthians, offers a gender critical examination of Paul's use of body, power, and imitation. My focus is on the intersection of gender & power as the individuals & communities that created & received these texts constructed various positions (read identities) for themselves in late Republic and early Principate. My specific focus is on the Pauline literature & the use of religious and gendered identities for rhetorical effect.
