Background

About Mark Buono

I am a passionate Master's candidate in Business Analytics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, with a solid foundation in data science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. My academic journey has equipped me with strong skills in business intelligence, data management, and project management, complemented by hands-on experience in leveraging data for actionable insights. During my studies, I led interdisciplinary projects, including an analysis of mental health discussions on social media. Utilizing the Twitter API, I gathered over tweets and employed natural language processing and sentiment analysis to uncover trends in public engagement with mental health topics. My experience as a Bank Teller at Eastern Bank refined my ability to process transactions efficiently while maintaining data integrity and compliance. This role reinforced my commitment to accuracy and exceptional customer service. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy challenges that stimulate critical and creative thinking. Proficient in Python, SQL, R, and Tableau, I effectively visualize data to drive strategic decision-making. I am eager to connect with professionals in business analytics and data science and look forward to opportunities to contribute and learn.
