Data Science Portfolio for Brian Beames, MBA, MT (ASCP)
Welcome to my Data Science Portfolio. I hope you enjoy the contents of this website and that it is successful in showcasing my skills in Data Science. I also hope that it can be of service to those interested in Data Science.
About Me
My interest in Data Science and Financial Analysis began after I learned about the job possibilities that I could possibly do after I earned my MBA. Since that time, I have been periodically learning about this subject and working on a few projects here and there on the side while I have been working full-time at my Medical Technologist job.
It is a desire of mine to obtain a work from home position. I do have experience working from home since this is how I earned my MBA.

Projects
Kaggle Competitions:
CareerCon 2019 - Help Navigate RobotsCompleted: 2018
Ranking: 98% (Lowest is best)
This competition helped me to advance in the Kaggle ranking system.
Housing prices Competition for Kaggle Learn Users
Completed: Aug 2020
Ranking: 23%
OSIC pulmonary competition
What I learned from the OSIC pulmonary fibrosis competition
Completed: Sep 2020
Ranking: 18%
OpenVaccine competition (No submission)
Main objective and accomplishment: Transform a json file into a pandas dataframe which was then converted into CSV file. CSV file was then to be used for the program Orange.
See the comment section to the notebook above to see what I learned from this competition.
Completed: Sep/Oct 2020
Connect X competition
Completed as part of a course (Reinforcement Learning Course)
Completed: Nov 2020
Ranking: 91%

Miscellaneous Concepts I have learned
On November 11, 2020, I was motivated by this discussion in a Kaggle competition to learn from this article that Pytorch is very similar in concept to Tensorflow but uses different coding to essentially do the same thing.I also learned from this article that I would like to start using JupyterLab rather than Jupyter Notebooks to do coding work. I really liked how you can do the dark theme with JupyterLab which required code to accomplish this in Jupyter Notebook.
I have also determined that when I write notebooks, I need to state the objective of what the notebook is trying to accomplish. I also need to state what each line of code is trying to do.
