"description": "A NodeJS console application to convert large amounts of data from one format to another. Input data was machine learning data containing chatbot intents and entities. Output data was an aggregation of all intents to their necessary entities to create an import file for chatbot ML. Output data also contained test cases to test a chatbot machine learning model. Worked with a team to make the app work with their chatbot use case. Saved hours of manual input data work required to test and train a chatbot machine learning model. Worked with merging existing machine learning entities with custom created entities by users. Tools used/learned: Javascript, Typescript, VS Code, NodeJS, NPM, LUIS AI, Machine Learning Training & Testing, Automated Testing, String Manipulation, File Reading/Writing, Git, Azure Devops.",
