EXPERIENCE
GALVANIZE INC., Data Scientist, San Francisco, CA 05/18 – Present
Capstone Project: The goal is to build an Amazon-like recommendation system that recommends products for a given user based on their preferences and order history. I built two latent factor recommender systems using FunkSVD and ALS models respectively. Both these models use matrix factorization technique to predict the missing ratings by taking product ratings dataset as an input. I have leveraged the advantages of using AWS, S3 and EC2 services to work with big data. FunkSVD model got MSE of 0.011 and ALS model got MSE of 0.001. The dataset was 3.2GB consisting of 5 million product reviews, 2 million users. Languages: Python
Real world Case Studies: (team projects)
Churn Prediction: A team of four members worked on predicting customer retention of a ride sharing company. In this project, we’ve used cost-benefit analysis and random forest classifier techniques and achieved a precision score of 0.89 and accuracy score of 0.97
Fraud Event Detection: A team of five members worked to detect fraud events of an event-based service company. Used Random Forest algorithm to predict the fraud events
Recommender Systems: Built SVD recommender system to predict missing movie ratings. To do so, we’ve used svd model from scipy.sparse.linalg package in python.
