Projects

COVID 19 Predictor

Binary classification of x-ray scans to determine COVID 19 presence with 87% accuracy using Tensorflow neural networks. Results presented as a web-application built with Python Flask, hosted with Docker, Firebase, and Google Cloud.

Event-Related Potential Neural Analysis

Characterization of electroencephalograph rhythms and coupling in response to conditions. Techniques employed involve visualization of the event related potential, bootstrapping to generate confidence intervals, and Fourier and Hilbert transforms.

Responsive Web Design Portfolio

A collection of projects that cover a varity of web-design principles. Mock webpages include a tribute page, survey page, project landing page, and a technical documentation page.

Sportify

Classification of proper athletic form using Python Flask to develop a computer vision web-application using OpenCV, Mediapipe, and Scikit-Learn.

Winner @ MAIS Hacks 2021

Spending Analyses

A collection of Tableau dashboards. Some developed using publicly-sourced databases of global sales, others were data engineered using my personal transactional data with Python Pandas and SQL.

McGill Schedule Builder

Webscraper using Python BeautifulSoup4 to scrape McGill e-calendars into a database, where it would then be manipulated with heap-like algorithms in order to generate a schedule with maximum efficiency for a given major.
