Since graduating from Flatiron, I’ve been working on several passion projects to hone my data science skills.
MLB Database and Predictions
How can you not get romantic about baseball? I love the sport, and it has a rich history of statistical analysis. I used SQLAlchemy to create a normalized database with information parsed from the MLB API, and I’ve been using that data for several projects including game predictions and pitch classification.
Wine Recommender System
I have an awesome local wine store, but I hardly know a thing about wine. So I created a wine database with information scraped from multiple sources to recommend bottles of wine based on their similarity to wines that I’ve enjoyed in the past. Check out the code here.
Movie Genre Classification w/ NLP
As part of an assignment at Flatiron School, we were tasked with classifying a movie’s genre using only it’s plot description. Our task was to build a model that optimized weighted f1 score, and our results were tested with a previously unseen test dataset. You can my blog post on the topic here.
