Hi, I'm Josh
I'm a Computer Science and Statistics undergrad who loves software development, data science, and interesting applications of computers. I'll be graduating this year and I'm excited and take the next steps in building my career.
Projects
Throughout my academic career, I've had the opportunity to apply the skills I have learned in interesting ways. Here are some projects I've worked on.
Python (Tkinter)
Sudoku Solver
Sudoku solver that uses basic techniques to solve easy sudoku puzzles. The program loads custom .sudoku files that include the position of the starting numbers. GUI is written with tkinter.
Python (Scikit-learn, numpy, matplotlib)
Sentiment Analysis of Movie Reviews
A machine learning class project where my partner and I developed a machine learning model to identify movie reviews as positive or negative. We used the principles of natural language processing (such as tf-idf vectors) to attain high accuracy.
JavaScript (React), Java
React Leaflet Website
I worked in a team of 5 to develop a leaflet website that users could use to visualize and organize trips. I focused on UI design, backend requests for the trip distance calculations, and some of the visual map features (I can share this project on request).

Experience
These are the jobs I am working currently alongside being a student
Undergrad Research Assistant
Southern Cross & CSU
May 2021 - Present
I perform statistical analysis, data wrangling, and data visualization to support CSU and Southern Cross with methane mapping around urban cities. The goal is to efficiently capture elevated peaks of methane that might be attributable to natural gas leaks in urban pipeline systems. More recently, I developed a confidence score for classifying natural gas leaks based on their unique characteristics.
IT Technician
CSU Lory Student Center
December 2019 - Present
I work with different deparments in the Lory Student Center to solve various hardware and software issues. I also write python scripts that automate data transformations to coordinate our student data with MBS. My most recent project involved creating a file processing app that could transform hundreds of register transactions to a specified data format for uploading sales.
