It uses DOI, domain, metadata, PMID/PMCID and structured PubMed Central evidence, and skips uncertain matches rather than guessing. ### [Reproducible ecological data explorer](https://jnton.github.io/protein-by-bodyweight-country/) Built a public protein-supply-by-bodyweight explorer combining FAOSTAT, NCD-RisC and World Bank data with visible assumptions, benchmark caveats and shareable views. ## Capabilities **Information retrieval**Primary-source and bibliographic search, claim tracing, source discovery, query refinement, source-quality assessment and cross-source corroboration **Data quality**Structured metadata, provenance, entity reconciliation, taxonomy design, validation rules, documentation and quality-control workflows **Data visualization**70+ published biomedical, epidemiological and public-health visualizations across Wikimedia Commons, Tableau Public and Flourish **Research analysis**Claim decomposition, evidence screening, conflicting-source reconciliation, uncertainty documentation and synthesis for decision-ready outputs **Technical delivery**Codebase reading and behavior inspection, requirements definition, functional testing, AI-assisted implementation, Git/GitHub, JSON, REST APIs, WordPress, DNS/SSL and cloud deployment ## Best-fit role families - Data quality and information-quality analysis - Research analysis and evidence verification - Data visualization and research support - Scientific, biomedical and AI-content quality ## Education & credentials - Information Technology — Open UAS Path Studies (120 ECTS) — Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, Aug 2026–Present; bachelor's-level ICT studies in software development, databases, Unix/Linux, data structures and algorithms, networking, cloud computing, cybersecurity and applied AI.
