Fortunato wheels Logo

This personal project aimed to help myself and friends buy used cars with confidence. I scraped over 3M+ car ads over 9 months, trained a regressor and quantile regressors to be able to predict confidence intervals and deployed the model on AzureML. I Built and deployed a website to interact with the model as well as an email notification system using the model predictions to flag cars for friends and family.

MetaExtractor: Finding Fossils in the Literature

Dec 2022 - Jun 2023

Industry Partner: Neotoma Paleo-Ecology Database

This project aimed to identify research articles which are relevant to the Neotoma Paleo-ecological Database (Neotoma) using machine learning. Extracted data relevant to Neotoma from recently published articles using NLP techniques for named entity recognition (NER). Develped a web app with Plotly Dash for the data to be reviewed by Neotoma data stewards then submitted to the Neotoma database.

June365

Data Scientist & Engineer @ Fisher & Paykel Technologies

Oct 2020 - Sept 2023

June365 is a digital personal trainer with a SmartDeck which contains electric motors and sensors to provide tracking and feedback for users. I developed the patented 3D hand measurement system which measures users hand position in 3D space to within ~5cm. June365 used this to develop real time technique feedback system to help users exercise at home safely and efficiently.
