28.12.2018 - Jay M. Patel - Reading time ~2 Minutes

As a full stack software developer and data scientist, my focus is solving problems and getting data driven insights for your business needs.

I can help you evaluate the data you already have, augment and complement it with web scraping/crawling all the while looking out for opportunities to automate and scale so that you can get the answers more rapidly with higher accuracy.

Once I have the data we need, I’ll use the most appropriate and state of the art algorithms for a given problem. I stay on the top of recent research papers on natural language processing, machine learning and deep learning so that I can give my clients the best and most cost effective solution.

My clients come to me in different stages of the project:

  • Some have already identified the exact problem and they need help in implementing the solution. You can check out our web scraping page and talk to me about it.

  • Whereas other clients have variety of business goals where they know data can help but they haven’t nailed down the specifics yet. In those cases, I will start my research by focusing on the larger picture and once I fully establish the needs and potential solutions I can help implement or advise, I will create a design document and proposal for your review.

  • Python (Flask, Django, scikit-learn, keras, pandas, matplotlib, numpy, scipy, NLTK, spaCy)
  • R (shiny, knitr, ggplot2, tidyverse, caret)
  • SQL (MySQL, SQLite,PostgresQL), NoSQL (Elasticsearch, MongoDB)
  • Web Crawlers (Scrapy, Apache Stormcrawler, Apache Nutch)
  • Big Data (Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop)
  • Cloud Computing/Amazon web Services (EC2, Lambda, S3, SageMaker)
  • Others (Weka, Eclipse RCP/Java, KNIME, SPSS, Stata, Microsoft Excel)
