• 👋 Hi, I’m @Baylex and I own Weighted Averages, LLC, a company committed to helping school districts streamline and analyze their data by creating tools to do the heavy lifting, so educators can do what they do best, inspire students.
• 👀 I’m interested in studying state accountability and creating tools for educators.
• 🌱 I’m currently focusing on Tableau, Python programming, and embedding Excel into websites with JavaScript.
• 💞️ I’m looking to collaborate on machine learning models centered on analyzing educational data sets.

I designed two qualification calculators to help teachers understand their eligibility for the Teacher Incentive Allotment, a potential $65,000 pay increase!

I have streamlined our data collection process and have recovered 1000 work hours or roughly $45,000 in salaries plus created actionable data from previously ignored data attributes.

I used Python to convert several logo images for a communication flyer. The communication team wanted the logos to match with the same black and white color scheme.

I was contracted to bring the Data Dig Protocol to life, which retails for $1200. I used Google Sheets to create a collaborative document that takes in data from 2 different student information systems, Eduphoria! and DMAC, which are the 2 most common SIS in Texas. Once the data is in place, I wrote the necessary code and formulas to automatically calculate and present everything the way a teacher needs to process the information. The result being that teachers save countless hours of manual data entry, and the tool gets them straight into the analysis and discussion of actionable steps to improve instructional practices to benefit student performance.

I saw a knowledge gap where teachers had too much difficulty learning the new growth model when TEA shifted to the A-F Accountability system. I created data tables and excel files that make setting growth goals easy!
