Heart Disease Predictor

Led a quarter-long data science project analyzing the relationship between heart disease and factors such as demographics, income, and lifestyle using exploratory data analysis and machine learning. Used Python (Pandas, NumPy) for data cleaning and preprocessing, and built a final logistic regression model for prediction.

Video Game Likability Prediction

Machine learning project focused on predicting "likabiilty" of steam games given certain metadata, such as game description, price, tags, reviews, and playtime statistic. Developed an ensemble model comprising of three models: Naive Bayes for text, Combined Logistic Regression for text + metadata, and Random Forest for meta-data.
