Hi I’m Alexander Deets

A Systems-Focused Healthcare Professional and Data Analytics Student

I am a Dallas-based healthcare professional and data analytics student focused on understanding how large systems affect real human outcomes.

My daily work takes place inside a major public safety-net hospital environment, where I assist individuals navigating complex care processes. That experience has shaped my interest in how institutional design, incentives, and information flow influence whether people successfully access services.

I approach problems from both an operational and human perspective. My focus is not only whether a system functions, but whether it functions for the person who depends on it.

Perspective

Earlier in my life, I interacted with the healthcare system as a patient with limited resources. Today I work within that same type of environment supporting others as they move through it.

Because of that, I spend much of my time thinking about questions such as:

• Where do systems unintentionally create barriers?
• Why do small administrative processes have large real-world consequences?
• How can information design reduce confusion and stress?
• What kinds of incentives improve participation and follow-through?

This dual perspective strongly influences my academic direction and research interests.

Education and Academic Direction

I am currently completing a Bachelor of Science in Data Analytics. My studies emphasize practical analytics, data interpretation, and communication of complex information to non-technical audiences.

My academic interests include:

• healthcare operations and quality improvement
• process optimization
• data communication and visualization
• behavioral response to institutional processes
• decision-making under constraint

Rather than viewing analytics as purely technical work, I see it as a translation discipline: converting data into understanding that people can actually use.

Approach

My professional approach is guided by several principles:

• systems often fail at the point of communication rather than capability
• clarity improves participation
• small design choices compound into large outcomes
• incentives shape behavior more reliably than instruction
• data must remain connected to lived experience

I am particularly interested in roles that sit between technical teams and operational teams, where analysis, communication, and process improvement overlap.
