Balad is a Map & Navigation mobile application. I was involved in the search team.• Created a word embedding (GloVe) using search queries• Researched and implemented a sequence labeling system (BRNN) to tag search queries

Metodata operates in the field of Computational Social Science.• Developed a Twitter user classifier with 92.5 precision and generated a light model that multiplied the response speed• Analyzed events and trends on Twitter (including community detection, centrality measures, page rank, etc)• Consulted in purchase pattern identification project based on millions of transactional data• Developed RESTful APIs using Python (Flask and Gunicorn)• Optimized SQL queries • Crawled data from Twitter and other sites• Managed the whole implementation of social media dashboards• Fixed latency in dashboard's initial load• Mentored data science trainees

I was involved in Vardast project which is a toolkit providing all-in-one marketing platform for selling on e-marketplaces, with the mission of providing data & insights to help entrepreneurs and brands launch, build, and grow their businesses.• Proposed and implemented an unsupervised keyphrase extraction method (Python)• Estimated market size in an online marketplace (Python)• Redesigned the data crawling infrastructure (with crawling speed x7) and led the team to develop it• Developed RESTful APIs using Python (Flask & Gunicorn)• Coached a Python back-end developer• Interviewed data science candidates and Python developers• Conducted code reviews• Visualized data using matplotlib and seaborn libraries

Dataak provides platforms for organizations and individuals to collect, monitor, and analyze their data (internal and external), in order to deliver beneficial insights to responsible decision makers.• Researched, proposed and composed a machine learning system that detects events on real-time data (Python)• Transter learned a text classifier to a sentiment classifier• Researched, coded, and revised a name transliterator which outperformed the original one by 12% precision (Java)• Implemented a plagiarism detection algorithm on news data (Python)• Developed RESTful APIs using Python (Flask & Gunicorn) and Java(Jersey & Apache Tomcat)• Coded and deployed ETLs: Extracted billions of data from HBase, Apache Kafka, and MariaDB, cleansed it and then loaded it into Elasticsearch, Solr, OrientDB, and MariaDB (Java)
