Docker for Data Scientists - Meetup Talk #Docker
Imagine if running your code in production was as easy as running it on your own machine.
In this presentation, I give a very visual
introduction on how to use docker to wrap apps into tidy containers so that they can run
seamlessly in any environment.
Thompson Sampling with Cats! #Python #TypeScript #NodeJS #D3.js
A fun demonstration of how Thompson Sampling can be used to achieve
better results than A/B Testing when deciding which version of a product
to deploy.
Advanced Topics in Applied Mathematics
Facial Recognition #Python #Jupyter Notebook
Algorithm that uses eigenfaces
to solve the computer vision problem of face recognition.
Given an image of a face, this algorithm finds the closest match in the data set with
respect to the Euclidean
norm.
Fourier Transformation #Python #Jupyter Notebook
Implementation, explanation, and several applied
examples of the famous
Fast Fourier Transform.
This algorithm decomposes a signal via a linear
transformation from the time domain to the frequency
domain in O(nlogn) time.
I have a rigorous understanding of the
mathematics behind this process.
Classical Machine Learning Problem #Python
Implementation of a
K-Dimensional Tree classifier
used to correctly identify the digits 0-9 from thousands of images.
Page Rank Algorithm #Python #NetworkX
The PageRank algorithm was principle to
Google's success.
Before PageRank, search results on the web were totally disorganized.
I implemented the algorithm myself and used it to rank websites from a dataset maintained by
Stanford University.
Then, I imported the optimized NetworkX version to build a March Madness bracket.
Markov Chains #Python
Yoda Speak
A Jedi's strength flows from this kind?
To question, no try.
A Jedi Knight with you be.
The Chosen One the Chancellor, he will be.
Encircle them we must, then divide.
I created a Markov chain
from Master Yoda's speech to simulate a classical Natural Language Processing problem.
Because the outcome of a Markov chain only depends on
a single state (a single word in this case), the results
are non-sensical and fun to read.
Software Development
Custom Domo Tiles - Data Pipeline #DOMO API #R #Python #Cronjob
Your company may amass information from B2B services such as Facebook Advertising, LinkedIn,
Salesforce, etc.
DOMO provides an all-in-one data warehousing and analytics platform to handle this data.
This script can download one or more datasets from a DOMO instance, run the data through any
R or Python script,
and then push it back into DOMO. When scheduled, this serves as an easy data pipeline.
Algorithms and Data Structures
Efficient algorithms are critical to problem solving using computational methods. After a single month of preparation and no prior experience, I placed 18th out of 132 competitors (86th percentile) at the 2018 ACM coding competition between the big 4 Utah universities.

Binary Search / AVL Tree #Python #C++
Web Development
Dropbot - Chrome Automator #JavaScript #Chrome #Python
Writing bots and web scrapers is useful, but can be a pain.
Tools such as the Selenium library
rely on developers to cleverly locate the important HTML elements of a page.
The Dropbot Chrome extension makes this easy, and even lets you export custom bot scripts
as JSON objects for use in any programming language.
Vision Therapy Tetris #JavaScript
I have a lazy eye. I took a 3 day challenge to learn JavaScript, and made this vision
therapy
game for kids with the same condition.
Wearing an eye patch is a good way to exercise a non-dominant eye, but
it doesn't train our two eyes to work together. With red and blue 3D glasses,
only one eye can see the red blocks
while the other sees the blue blocks--so the eyes must coordinate.
This is a fun way for kids to do their vision therapy exercises,
and train their eyes to work together.
