SUMMARY
Combined 4+ years of Software Development, Research, Project Management and
Machine Learning/Numerical Modeling experience
SOME PROJECTS
Style Transfer with Deep Neural Networks
Framework/Model used:
PyTorch; 19-layer VGG
Recreated the style transfer method given in “Image Style
Transfer Using Convolutional Neural Networks” by Leon Gatys Network.
et al., using features of a Neural Network to separate the
content and style of 2 different images in order to generate a
new image.
CIFAR10 CNN Image Classification
Trained a Convolutional Neural Network to classify images
from the CIFAR-10 database.
Framework/Model used:
PyTorch; 9-layer CNN.
Client Clustering based on Declined Loans
Framework/Model used:
Classified clients of a loan disbursement company whose loan Scikit Learn; PCA/K-Means
Clustering.
requests were declined in order to study patterns in each
cluster.
Loan Default Prediction
Built a model to classify and predict whether or not the
borrower of a Peer-to-peer Lending Company paid back their
loans in full.
Framework/Model Used:
Scikit Learn; Decision
Tree/Random Forest
Classifier.
Classification Model Evaluation
Built and evaluated a model using the Pima Indians Diabetes
Dataset to evaluate how things like Classification Accuracy,
Specificity, Sensitivity and AUC - ROC Curve help to measure
Model Performance.
Framework/Model Used:
Scikit Learn; Logistic
Regression.
