Welcome to Jay’s Portfolio

Hello! My name is Jay Tsai Renaker, I’m a senior at Scripps college. I’m passionate about human-technology interactions, encompassing data analytics, UX/UI, project management, and more.

Projects & Experiences

Mapping Trader Joe’s Locations versus Median Household Income

I examined the relationship between Trader Joe's store locations in California cities, and city median household income (MHI). I analyzed the relationship between store location density and MHI, to investigate the question “Is Trader Joe’s an affordable, local store for all?”.

data analytics ~ python (pandas, altair, matplotlib)

Web Development for Scripps Data Science

I led a team of 9 students to build a community-based, accessible website from scratch for the new Scripps Data Science program. We utilized the design thinking process to ideate and design wireframes. We used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the software development aspects.

project management ~ human-centered design ~ front-end coding

Marketing & Data Analytics @ Story To Video

Managed digital content and branding strategy. Applied coding techniques to data/video media organization, website development, and competitor research for independent filmmakers in Amsterdam.

My Whys

I enjoy problem solving, collaboration, and learning ‘what makes people and systems tick’. This manifests in my passion for experience design, data science, research, and more. I strive to be continually curious, open-minded, and creative in these fields.

My Daily Joys

I love rock climbing, dumpling-making dinner parties, and getting book recommendations! On the weekends, you can find me playing ultimate frisbee with the Claremont Greenshirts or crocheting in the Motley.
