Portfolio

A selection of my work in data engineering, machine learning, and analytics — from end-to-end data pipelines to deployed ML web apps.


End-to-End Data Engineering Pipeline

View Evidence Dashboard View on GitHub

An end-to-end data engineering project that transforms messy, unstructured data into a robust, structured data warehouse using modern tools such as dbt, Polars, duckdb, pydantic, and evidence.dev. The project encompasses data ingestion, cleaning, transformation, and analysis—culminating in interactive dashboards that deliver actionable insights to business stakeholders. Demonstrates an ability to build scalable, reproducible data pipelines and optimize data assets for performance and clarity.


Digit Recognition Web App

View Web App View on GitHub Model Training on Colab

A web app, deployed on streamlit, takes the user’s input as a digit drawing on a canvas and outputs a prediction. This app is my over-engineered take on the “Hello World” of neural networks, digit prediction from the MNIST dataset, which takes the project all the way to a deployed model on a polished website. This web app went through many iterations, starting as a Flask app on Heroku, to the same app on Render, landing now on a streamlit app. The previous implementation in Flask can be found in the GitHub repo.

A collection of projects created during coursework for a graduate-level data structures and algorithms course.


ML Algorithms

View on GitHub

A collection of self-made machine learning algorithms. Algorithms are created with the intent of better understanding the processes behind each machine learning algorithm, as well as to communicate technical data science information.

I have constructed the following algorithms:


Computational Presentations

View on GitHub

A repository of my presentations from spring 2021 teaching computational coursework to chemical engineering undergraduate students. The course topics were set by the university, however these presentations and the examples with their code were made entirely from scratch.

Coursework covered a variety of numerical methods and data operations, including but not limited to:
