Product Management at USAFacts and the Penn Wharton Budget Model

This past summer, I interned at USAFacts and the Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM). The goal of USAFacts is:
To make government data more transparent to the American public
Even though I can’t show the specifics of what I worked on at USAFacts/PWBM, my role as a product management intern focused on product testing and development. Using Python, I created a program that validated the data obtained from a new API tool with manually scraped information. Because of my program, we were able to detect inconsistencies in over 2,000 data points and identify the causes of these errors!
