My Favorite Projects

My three favorite projects are listed below. See my GitHub for a complete list of my work.

Housing Prices Predictor

Story | Code
Analysis predicts housing prices in Ames, IA given a variety of metrics and descriptive factors. Uses Python (Scikit-Learn, Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, MatPlotLib, and Seaborn) to produce a single variable regression, multiple variable regression, and random forest regression and tells a story using Tableau.

Vacation Rental Properties Dashboard

Live | Code
Dashboard that visualizes listings, hosts, and reviews data for vacation rental properties in four Seattle neighborhoods. The web application uses Python (Flask and SQLAlchemy) to connect its back-end SQLite database to its front-end visualizations (created using the Plotly and ZingChart JavaScript libraries).

Kiva Data ETL

Code/Writeup
Creates a relational database covering peer-to-peer lending data from Kiva. Takes multiple CSV files, uses Python's Pandas library to clean the data and separate the data into concise dataframes, creates a schema of four tables (loans, regions, loan purposes/themes, and lenders) in MySQL, and pushes the cleaned dataframes into the SQL schema.
