I wrote, designed, and developed our training courses into eLearning media, so that our users can listen to their data. I adapted the Advanced Searching and Reporting course from a two-day workshop into a 10-part video series. This included explaining the architecture of a search to demonstrate how Splunk's Search Processing Language, or SPL, finds information within Splunk's indexed data volumes. The course then dove into obscure and advanced SPL commands and functions, in order to combine searches, manipulate results, find and work with transactions, work with time ranges for data queries, and optimize searches for greater efficiency. I also wrote scripts for four short tutorials, published under the Splunk How-To YouTube account. I'm also proud of the work I did for Somos, Splunk's Latinx representation group. We coordinated with the Black Engineers & Managers Group & Splunk Pride, sharing insights and hosting events for employees. ### UX/UI Designer @ Drop.ai Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Berkeley, CA Drop was a Vive Accelerator startup company, working on a VR search experience for images, video, and web sites for the HTC Vive.
