Student Success Machine Learning Project

An exciting project that allowed me to use my experience in education reporting in a predictive machine learning project. I developed a machine learning model that utilizes a Random Forest Regression algorithm to predict student success based on 26 criteria the student would provide. The final application includes a UI that allows the user to adjust individual characteristics and make predictions based on the model's output.

• Tools: Jupyter Notebook, myBinder, Voila
• Python Libraries: Ipywidget, Pandas, MatPlotLib, SkLearn, NumPy

Scheduling Desktop Application

This application is for a fictional global consulting organization that conducts business in English and French, with main offices in Phoenix, Arizona; White Plains, New York; Montreal, Canada; and London, England.

Acme Consulting is providing a MySQL database that the application must pull from, and we must not modify it.

While this is a relatively straightforward scheduling project, the company has many specific business requirements that add complexity to the project. Using non-Java API libraries is not allowed except for JavaFX SDK and MySQL JDBC Driver.

My solution utilizes a DAO (Data Access Object) and MVC (Master View Controller) design patterns. The application's front end is in Java and JavaFX, and the backend is Java and MySQL.

Student Roster Program

This application is written in C++ and uses a command-line interface to manage a class roster for a fictional small university. As a redesign of an older system it has some specific design requirements, which include:

• The application is responsible for reading and manipulating a table of provided student data.
• It must contain both a student and roster class and maintain a current roster associated with a given course.
• Student data for the program include student ID, first name, last name, email address, age, an array of the number of days to complete each course, and degree program.
• While parsing the list of data, the program should create student objects.
• The program must use an enumerated data type to manage the different course options.
• The application must recognize invalid email formats.
• Use of third-party libraries is not allowed.
