TK Todd Klinger

Data Analytics Intern at the US Army War College

Hi, I'm Todd. I turn messy data into tools people actually use.

I'm a Computer Science & Data Analytics student at Dickinson College (minor in Math, Class of 2027). I build data pipelines, dashboards, cloud apps, and APIs, and I like projects where software, data, and real-world impact meet.

About

Builder by nature, analyst by training

I grew up outside Washington, DC, designing systems for fun long before I wrote code: hundreds of hand-drawn maps of imaginary worlds and fifty-page outlines for games I wanted to build. Computer science turned out to be the real-world version of that: designing systems that actually work.

Today I'm a data analytics intern at the US Army War College, an AI software developer building Dickinson's campus assistant chatbot, a CS tutor, and a former NIH API intern. I also spent a semester studying at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand.

Data & analytics

Automated reporting pipelines, forecasting, clustering, and visualizations that make results easy to act on.

Cloud & full-stack

Apps on AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, SQS) and Vercel, from Flask and Express APIs to Next.js front ends.

APIs & documentation

Clean OpenAPI/Swagger specs that let researchers and developers explore an API on their own.

Experience

Where I've worked

  1. Jan 2026 – Present Carlisle, PA

    Data Analytics Intern

    US Army War College · Office of Institutional Assessment & PKSOI

    • Built AI-assisted Python pipelines that turn Qualtrics survey exports into automated, formatted Word reports (post-course, alumni, and faculty/staff climate surveys), cutting average report-building time from ~12 hours to ~8 minutes.
    • Parsed raw game logs from 40+ seminar wargames (resident and distance-education students) into one analysis-ready dataset, then mapped troop movement and engagement patterns with turn-by-turn movement flows and arrival/departure heatmaps.
    • Redesigned student achievement report templates with standardized branding, color-coded indicators, and multi-year trend arrows for leadership review.
    • Built and deployed an interactive HTML/JavaScript alumni dashboard for the PKSOI internship program, with a force-simulation bubble chart and career/employer breakdowns.
  2. 2026 – Present Carlisle, PA

    AI Software Developer

    Dickinson College · Devil Labs

    • Building Benny, an AI campus assistant that answers Dickinson-specific student questions about offices, services, policies, and campus life.
    • Designing web-scraping pipelines that collect campus information and structure it so the chatbot can answer reliably.
  3. Present Carlisle, PA

    Computer Science Tutor & Data Help Room Assistant

    Dickinson College

    • Tutor students in COMP 132 (Principles of Object-Oriented Programming) through office hours and lab support on Java, class design, and debugging.
    • Staff the Data Help Room, helping students across courses with data science concepts, analysis, and code.
  4. May 2025 – Jul 2025 Bethesda, MD

    API / OpenAPI Developer

    National Institutes of Health

    • Authored an OpenAPI 3.0 specification for the NBIA Advanced REST API, a public cancer imaging archive, organizing its endpoints, parameters, and schemas.
    • Deployed an interactive Swagger UI so researchers can explore and test endpoints in the browser instead of reading static docs.
