Data Scientist InternJun 2016 — Aug 2016

I was a summer intern at StratoDem, a real-estate consulting startup that uses demographic data to build predictive solutions for investors and businesses. I worked in a team of analysts, utilizing data-mining tools to build predictive models for real estate and government demographic data.

During my stay, I developed Stratplotlib, a python tool that provided the team with an easy way to create maps and visualize their geospatial data.
An example use-case is provided below.

Classifying the vulnerability of docker containers​

agile, python, docker, elasticSearch2016

Worked in a team of engineers to develop a tool that finds suspicious code in docker images. Intended for use in data centers, the tool works by mining security data from containers and then uses similarity matching to find malicious code snippets in the file binaries. (Mentored by IBM)

Visualizing the tech world

python, networkX, Gephi, webscraping2016

How do programming languages relate to one another?
As a confused student in school I decided to answer my question by constructing a network of keywords from the popular tech forum stackoverflow.com. The more often a tag appears with another, the stronger the connection between two tags become.

I thought that StackOverflow.com would provide an organic result due to its importance in the tech community.

Making a connection out of 1 post would look something like the above.
With a few million posts, I was able to get a much more descriptive visualization (below).
