Personal Profile

I am a Junior Industrial Engineering Major and Statistics Minor with a passion for maximizing value through minimizing non-value-adding steps in processes. I enjoy finding the optimal solution to accomplish this using data driven decision making. I am experienced in regression analysis, spatial statistics, Markov chains, and neural networks through working on a substantially independent undergraduate research study developing forecasting models of infrastructure deterioration to optimize maintenance planning. The necessity of quickly learning methodology for research has led to a commitment to life-long learning through both school and work. One avenue I enjoy pursuing this in is taking online courses on data analytics, including Andrew Ng's Machine learning series. I desire to continue to learn and add value to the field of data science.

My Projects

Home: Project

Digit Recognition Program

I completed Andrew Ng’s Machine Learning course in the summer of 2018 and plan to complete his deep learning course during winter break of 2018. One assignment was to code a neural network to perform digit recognition. However, I desired to train and test on my own hand writing so I expanded the project by reading in data from paint rather than just using the provided data set. I further learned how to improve the network by tuning hyper-parameters. I thoroughly enjoyed building off of the minimal requirements for the assignments. I believe this speaks to my drive as a lifelong learner who desires to produce quality work.
