About Me

As a data scientist and analyst, I translate data into valuable and intelligible insights. I aim to improve results, make the right decisions and provide the best outcomes. I have a decade of experience in the tertiary education sector as an educator, researcher and administrator. I am experienced in machine learning, supervised and unsupervised algorithms, statistical analysis and use data visualisation techniques to present the results in an accessible and interpretable way. I use SQL, R, and Python for my data projects.

Projects

Tumor Cell State Prediction

This project presents a simple prediction analysis using multiple machine-learning tools and techniques. It uses the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Diagnostic prediction dataset. It uses models such as Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, KNN, Random Forest, SVM and XGBClassifer, and voting techniques. The code is in Python and utilises libraries such as Pandas, numpy, sklearn, and matplotlib. Using a voting classifier ensemble method we were able to succeed in producing a model which was 97% accurate. With a 95% precision rate, 97% recall and 96% f1-score.

Hospital Admissions and Extreme Weather

This project explores the effects of extreme weather on hospital admissions. It utilises hospital and weather data from the Perth region. The project is split into two main parts. The first part of this project explores hospital data and conducts statistical analysis such as binomial and Poisson distributions to chart the attendance, admission and triage of hospitals in the Perth region on a daily basis. The second part of this project utilises weather data from NOAA to explore whether extreme changes in weather patterns have a correlation with an increase in hospital attendance and admission. Skills developed in this project include: Data cleaning and preparation and advanced statistical data analysis.
