Projects
Caterpillar Inc. - Mining truck missing sensors Imputation | Team Project Aug 2020 – Present
• Developing machine learning solutions to detect future equipment failures on a mining truck.
• Developing a recurrent neural network model (RNN), to perform time-series data imputations.
• Identifying specific timestamps of large data loss, visualizing necessary portions with Seaborn, Matplotlib.

Discord Bot - ARAM Tier Bot, TFT Bot | Personal, Team Project Aug 2020 – Oct 2020
• Developed a Python-based Discord Bot that provides statistical data for the user in unique game modes.
• Retrieved the relevant data from the 3rd party website, used the web crawling method with BeautifulSoup.
• Executed queries to retrieve the relevant data from the Riot Games API, then organized into sequential lists.
• Tested with varying calculation formulas to give the most accurate representation for the user’s proficiency level.
• Applied multiprocessing method in order to supplement the slower data processing in Python.
• Designed a solution to provide the relevant data to the user beyond the limitations of the Discord Embed, modified
the embedded output image with Pillow and sent the processed image to the Discord server with io.
