Software developer with experience in machine learning and data science in the process of making a career transition from structural engineering. I enjoy working on personal projects and collaborating with others as much as possible. In addition to keeping up with the latest machine learning tools, I was driven to understand how to build REST APIs and web applications in order to easily deploy and demonstrate my work to the online community.


PROJECTS

Measureyes | August 2018

First place winner in Globant's "Future of Retail" Hackathon.

  • Product mockup for a solution that would bring A/B testing strategies to the physical retail space, specifically storefronts and window displays.
  • Using computer vision and a simple camera setup, we can track the amount of head-turns vs. the amount of foot traffic to calculate the head-turn rate (HTR), which can be thought of as the direct analog of the click-through rate.

presume.xyz (WIP) | August 2018

  • Shell application that manages the content for a resume and returns the applicable and optimized response for common job application questions.

builtby.xyz | July 2018

  • Leverage open data provide by Seattle.gov to build a platform that will display permit applications on a map of Seattle.

archi.codes | May 2018

  • Used sPaCy's natural language model to analyze the text in the building code regulations. Extracted keywords to create a graph-style database with nodes and edges.
