Projects

For my COMP-790 Independent Study course I was tasked to take two github repos already made by previous students and transform them into an interactive software that would allow the user to choose which protein scaffolding testing environment they wanted to run. This software was comprised entirely of python and utilized many python libraries within a python development environment such as tensorflow to run deep learning algorithms on the protein data being fed into the program.

Recommendation System Deep Learning Research Project

For my COMP-851 Big Data Analytics course, our final project was to conduct research on a deep learning topic. For this I made the decision to study YouTube's Recommendation System and conduct a experiment that involved building a test version of a recommendation system to conduct collaborative analysis based on the data that was fed into the program. This was a project entirely consisting of Python as well as the use of Google Colab which is a great tool for setting up easy python environments without having to store anything locally. All the final documents as well as my final iteration of the project can be found here!
