Hi. Here you can find short descriptions of some projects I've worked on outside of my job.

Projects

2018

• Spotify NLP Excursion

My friend Malcolm Taylor and I are working on this project to apply natural language processing (NLP) techniques to song lyrics from a users' Spotify playlists or individual songs. We utilize the Genius and Spotify APIs. We've also advanced our Git knowledge dramatically through this collaboration.

2017

• Zillow’s Home Value Prediction (Zestimate)

My friend Malcolm Taylor and I worked on this Kaggle project to improve Zillow's 'Zestimate' score. In other words, we analyzed almost one million inputs to develop an algorithm to better predict which houses their Zestimate score would do poorly on. We spent a good portion of the time wrangling the data including feature engineering.

• Wine Quality

My friend Malcolm Taylor and I used Bayesian Analysis to understand the qualities which make a red wine high or low quality. The dataset from the UCI Machine Learning Repository contains 12 variables including various chemical metrics. Logistic & linear regression, as well as random forest techniques were used.
