12 Weeks, 480+ hours, of Data Science training program.(Deep Learning, machine learning, statistic modeling and analysis, E.T.L)Capstone Project: Car Classification with Imagery (Auto-enVision) ** - Built and deployed a CNN car image classification model with 98% accuracy, leveraging a TensorFlow, into a web application. Pretrain Model. Use Python, Pandas, NumPy, Flask, HTML and Heroku.- Built a data pipeline to gather images, processed images and stored them in a local folder to be access by the machine learning model. Used Python, BeautifulSoup, Pandas, NumPy, PIL and PyPlot. Client Project: Flood Detection with Imagery (Flood Bank)-In a group of 3, developed a flood classification algorithm and flood detection with pretrained model to filter flooded images and then use it approximate its flood depth. -Built a web scraper tool to gather flooded images. -Used LabelImg for image labeling and used Roboflow’s Yolo-v3 Pytorch pretrained model for flood detection.-The model achieved accuracy of about 70% with 1000 images and demonstrated the capabilities of the concept. -The leading group who thought outside the box and went beyond project requirements.Housing Price Prediction (Houstradamus) -Created a Linear Regression algorithm to predict housing prices with the given features of the house.-Performed exploratory data analysis to extract import features and data cleaning of the data. -Incorporated feature engineering and regularization to minimize mean-square-error.-Achieved 2nd in the leaderboard within my class and 4th within General Assembly Data Science classes.
