Projects
Face Detection
Developed using the deep learning library Keras
Original idea developed to track classroom attendance
Later modified to dynamically identify faces with computer webcams
Written in Python
Implemented libraries include face_recognition, sys, dlib, and skimage
Sparked from my interest in neuron networks and transforming human data into useful applications
API Based Web Application
Web application developed using Play Framework 2.7.2
Used USGS, Bing Maps, and OpenCage APIs to locate and visually represent earthquake histories
Written in Java, Scala, HTML, CSS, CoffeeScript and uses both a in-memory database and PostgreSQL
Deployed to Heroku, a cloud application service
Learned how web requests operate within a service platform
I choose this project because I want to track how people move away from natural disasters with social media geography-tagging
Predictive Modeling
Created multiple machine learning models to test the accuracy of replacing missing metadata tags with existing data
Used an open source extractor called GROBID to extract metadata from PDF
Implemented a 5 fold validation, which partitions each samples randomly, into each model
Written in Python and stored in Microsoft SQL
Learned how to create models and apply it to a larger research idea
This was the project that got me interested in data science
