I'm a Software Engineer near Portland, OR. I have an MS in CS with a focus on AI and Machine Learning from Portland State University. I'm passionate about engineering elegant and performant solutions to big problems. I live for the opportunity to learn more and to perfect my craft. There are few joys greater than being an integral part of a successful team.
Face detection and recognition has now reached the status of a classical problem in Computer Vision. There are many different ways of recognizing and then classifying digital images of faces. This project implements the Haar Face Cascade algorithm for face detection. For face recognition OpenFace, seven different classifiers from Scikit-Learn (all of which were trained on the LFW data set), and Amazon’s AWS Rekognition were implemented.
View ProjectGeneraList lets you use Amazon's Alexa to create and use lists that hold any type of data. Ask GeneraList to store grocery items as you think of them during the week and then access those items when you're on the go at the supermarket. Or give generalist a list of instructions that Alexa can read off to you later as you ask her to. Have a recipe that you love? Let GeneraList read the instructions to you as you're cooking.
View ProjectIn this class project, I used Python, Pandas, and Scikit-Learn to classify the University of California Irvine Spambase Data Set. The data set contains 4601 rows with 57 columns of attributes and 1 column that contains the classification, 1 for spam and 0 for not spam. The experiments were to run a SVM on the data set and then to experiment with feature selection.
