Personal projects

Movie Neural Network Movie Recommender
July 2023 - July 2023

For my lighthouse labs final project I create a recommender system. I love movies and I am very interested in neural networks. This project uses a hybrid collaborative and content based filtering neural network recommender system to recommend movies to users based on the previous movies they've watched.

Predicting flight delays project using machine learning algorithms in Python
May 2023 - May 2023

The project predicted flight delays using machine learning algorithms in python. It involved many steps including:
- data review and extraction using SQL
- data cleaning, preprocessing & exploratory data analysis in Python
- weather data extraction using API
- feature engineering to make the data set more robust
- created and evaluated numerous machine learning models
