TECHNOLOGY • DATA • INNOVATION • IMPACT
Technologist. Builder. Storyteller.
Creating a career — and a legacy — with intention.
HEY, I'M KEDEESH.
I’m Kedeesh Nolan - a technology professional, data enthusiast, author and STEM advocate building at the intersection of data, technology and impact. My foundation began in Computer Information Systems, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude, and expanded through a Master of Science in Data Science, completed with a 4.0 GPA. Now, as an incoming 2027 PhD student, I’m continuing to build on that foundation while exploring where technology, data and business can take me next. Along the way, I’ve built experience across technology, telecom, data and analytics, developing a perspective that connects technical knowledge with the way technology operates in the real world.
But my story has never been limited to a career. Originally from St. Kitts & Nevis and now building my professional life in New York, I’ve made it a priority to turn achievement into something larger than myself. From supporting the next generation of technologists through the Kedeesh Nolan Award, to serving in STEM and robotics spaces, to creating the book She Codes the Future to help young girls see themselves in technology, my work reflects a belief that success becomes more meaningful when it creates possibility for someone else.
Beyond the work, I’ve always had a creative side. I enjoy drawing, going to the gym, discovering new restaurants and finding new experiences that keep me curious. I’m continuously evolving, learning, building and exploring what’s next across data, emerging technology and innovation. For me, technology isn't simply the field I chose. It’s the space where curiosity, ambition and purpose come together.
M.S. DATA SCIENCE
Monroe University · 2025
BUILT ONE DEGREE AT A TIME.
My path to Data Science was never a single leap. It grew from the foundation I built in Computer Information Systems, where I learned to understand technology as connected systems, and evolved into graduate study focused on what data within those systems can reveal.
Through my Master of Science in Data Science at Monroe University, I deepened that foundation through analytics, statistical modeling, machine learning, big data and cloud technologies—strengthening the way I approach complex information and real-world problems. Along the way, I earned consecutive recognition on Monroe University's President's List while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.
The degree represents more than another credential. It reflects the evolution of my technical foundation—and the discipline to keep building on it.
THE WORK BEHIND THE CREDENTIALS.
A focused collection of earned credentials supporting my foundation in data analytics and data science. Each represents practical learning across data analysis, problem-solving and the tools used to turn information into insight—building on the technical foundation developed through my academic and professional journey.
Eight-course professional certificate covering the foundations of data analysis, including spreadsheets, SQL, Tableau and R.
Foundational IBM course credential exploring data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning, paired with the Data Science Orientation badge on Credly.
FROM THEORY TO APPLICATION.
A curated selection of academic data science work spanning predictive modeling, customer analytics and sentiment analysis—built with real datasets and documented from exploration through interpretation.
PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS · SAS VIYA
Built and compared Decision Tree and Logistic Regression models in SAS Viya to identify customer churn risk and translate model findings into targeted retention strategies.
HIGHER EDUCATION · PYTHON
Integrated College Scorecard and IPEDS data to examine institutional factors associated with student outcomes and develop predictive analysis around academic risk and graduation performance.
SPORTS ANALYTICS · PYTHON
Integrated NBA performance statistics with social media sentiment data in Python to explore relationships among fan sentiment, player performance and team outcomes.
RECOGNIZEDFIRST, I WAS RECOGNIZED.
In 2017, while pursuing my Associate Degree in Information Technology at Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College in St. Kitts & Nevis, I received the Genelle Lake FEM-TECH Award—an achievement that recognized my performance and potential in technology.
That moment became part of a much larger journey. What began as a young woman being recognized for her own work in technology eventually evolved into a desire to create that same feeling of recognition for someone else. Years later, that experience would help inspire me to establish The Kedeesh Nolan Award, turning a milestone from my own academic journey into an opportunity to celebrate and encourage the next generation of technology students.
The Kedeesh Nolan Award was founded and funded in 2022 as a way to turn my own experience of being recognized in technology into an opportunity for someone else. Presented through Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College, the award honors the best-performing male student in Information Technology—recognizing academic excellence while encouraging the next generation to continue building their future in the field.
What began with Carlyon Jones-Armour as the inaugural recipient in 2022 has grown into a continuing tradition, with Royél Pemberton becoming the most recent recipient in 2026. For me, the award represents more than recognition. It is a commitment to creating the kind of encouragement, visibility and opportunity that can stay with a student long after the moment itself.
I was once the student receiving an award. Today, I have the privilege of putting someone else’s name on one.
SHE CODES THE FUTURE
She Codes the Future: A STEM Adventure for Young Dreamers is a forthcoming book created to inspire and empower the next generation of girls—particularly Black girls—to imagine themselves not simply using technology, but building, designing and leading within it.
Through storytelling, real-world examples and insights inspired by the experiences of Black professionals in technology, the book introduces young readers to possibilities across technology, artificial intelligence, robotics and beyond. Its purpose is to make fields that can often feel intimidating or inaccessible feel visible, exciting and within reach.
At its core, She Codes the Future is about representation before limitation—giving young dreamers an opportunity to see people who look like them creating, innovating and succeeding in spaces where they have historically been underrepresented.
She Codes the Future is ultimately about expanding what young girls believe is possible for themselves. Whether their future leads to coding, artificial intelligence, robotics, engineering or a path they have yet to discover, I want them to know there is space for their curiosity, ideas and creativity in technology. Sometimes seeing what is possible is the first step toward believing you belong there.
FUTURE
Robot Inspector · Long Island Regional Competition · Hofstra University
Since 2023, I’ve volunteered annually with FIRST Robotics, serving as a Robot Inspector at the Long Island Regional Competition at Hofstra University.
For me, STEM advocacy means more than talking about opportunity—it means being present in the spaces where young people are actively building, programming, engineering, problem-solving and discovering what they’re capable of.
Returning year after year allows me to witness student teams transform months of ideas and technical work into something real: technology they designed, built and brought to competition.
It’s one part of a larger commitment I’ve made to STEM: learn it, build within it, advocate for it—and help make space for the people coming next.
WHERE TECHNOLOGY MEETS THE REAL WORLD.
My professional experience has given me a front-row view of how technology operates beyond the classroom—inside the systems, workflows and infrastructure that keep real organizations moving.
At Altice USA, I work within B2B telecommunications operations, supporting technology-driven processes across Salesforce-connected workflows, service provisioning, system and order validation, technical service changes, testing and the coordination required to move complex solutions from request to delivery.
That experience has strengthened the way I think about technology: not simply as code, data or individual systems, but as an interconnected environment where information, infrastructure, automation, people and process have to work together.
Combined with my academic foundation in Computer Information Systems and Data Science, it gives me a perspective grounded in both how technology is built and how it functions in the real world.
The work continues to evolve. So do I.
THE STORY IS STILL BEING WRITTEN.
