GDPW Week 13 update

Leave a reply

We’ve started connecting our data visualizations to the website, and more are on the way soon to really bring the project to life. We also made our first post on BlueSky HERE: https://bsky.app/profile/gdpwcuny.bsky.social and updated our Reddit link on the website so we can start conversations on there as well. On the research side, we will start uploading our materials to Zotero and cleaning up our Excel files to make sure everything is polished and organized to share on the website and be prepared for our data vizzes. Martin and Cathy have been out attending wrestling events for outreach, which has been super helpful as we continue building connections in the community. We’re also spotlighting Battle Crush’s Women Crush Wednesday 5 and tracking HOG’s Isolation at Amuzura, especially thinking about how it all ties into global indie circuits and representation in wrestling. Blogging is still ongoing, we will be focusing on autism awareness in professional wrestling for April and highlighting the events we’ve been attending. We have also printed our business cards to promote the project at the events we attend and within our circles.The last thing we’re focusing on is making final tweaks to our presentation PowerPoint, taking into account the feedback received. Lots moving, but we’re in a good place and excited to keep building.

Elijah’s Skills Set!

Yo Yo, It’s Elijah! I am on my 4th semester in the DH program and work as a data analyst for 2 CUNY undergrad internship programs.

Project management: As part of my job, I lead smaller groups and need to maintain a sense of order by making data-driven choices. This is not something I would particularly like to grow but it is something I do not mind doing. I have proficient use of project tracking tools, like Asana to keep track of all the things I do at work. 

Developer: I would like to practice and expand my skills in this area, I have taken a few software labs including JavaScript, JS.D3, and Tableau. I also taught myself Python and SQL for data analysis which may come in handy when dealing with complex data. 

Design/UX: I am at a 3/5 proficiency with UX/Design, I do make a lot of data-based presentations for my team and always have an approach to usability and understandability when designing.

Outreach/Social media: I am on a break of social media, but my writing skills are not the greatest, as I am a person of not so many words. 

Documentation: Not my favorite but I can do it, I have to do this for work to ensure the work is replicable and we all understand what each system does.

Research & writing: I think I like more of a researcher than a writer, gathering information is fun to me (I am a gemini), but it is an area I can improve in so I am happy to do it if needed.
