About Me

A few interesting things about me. I love to read suspense fiction ( My favorite author is Dan Brown). I am also an avid gamer. I love to play competitive strategy games and first-person shooters. Lastly, I love learning. Every day I push myself to learn something new, whether that be about machine learning, software engineering, or miscellaneous facts about the universe.

An experienced data scientist with expertise in analyzing and synthesizing large data sets for critical business decisions. Strong experience in Advanced Programming and passion for exploring patterns and relationships in large volumes of data to solve complex problems using advanced statistical models.

Cloud Compute

I maintain servers for database storage, model training, and model deployment.

NLP

I have worked with researchers to apply NLP techniques to make sense of the motivations behind human interactions.

Machine Learning

Machine learning is more than an API call to scikit-learn. I love the math and theory as well as the implementation.

Parallel Computing

I regularly extract data from Hadoop databases using the HIVE framework.

Model Deployment

I implement machine learning models in real world production systems using REST APIs.

Data Analytics

I love telling a story. Making a beautiful and compelling presentation is one of my favorite skills.

My Latest Projects

I have worked on multiple projects projecting the latest technologies and algorithms. Shown below are some of those projects.
For the source code please check out my page at

GitHub!

Image Classification

Implemented a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model with Keras to predict the classification of types of images using a CIFAR-10 dataset and procured a model accuracy of 75%.

PREDICT INJURY SEVERITY

Applied a Feed Forward Neural Network made from scratch using only Pandas libraries in python to a FARS dataset to examine relationships between driver injury severity and roadway condition to obtain an accuracy of 46% for the multi-class classification and 60% for the binary classification

RANDOM MATRIX SPARSIFICATION

Analyzed and compared the performance of K-Means on the data matrix using 3 separate sets of data.Used K-Means++ initialization method algorithm to obtain clusters which along with pre-processing steps which led to an increase in performance by 60% .




















Multi-label Categorization of construction projects

Successfully extracted and labelled information such as construction, design, operation and maintenance from construction contracts and project requirement documents using supervised learning in python.

Image Segmentation

Trained a machine learning model to segment an image into multiple objects built using a dataset of ~12K images and 20 classifications to obtain an accuracy of 84.5 %.

Movie Recommendation System

Build a content based movie recommendation system and make an API using django and deploy it on the cloud.
