Sonny Desai

Data Scientist | Machine Learning Engineer | Project ManagerData Scientist & Machine Learning Engineer with a recently completed Masters in Data Science at Northwestern University and 8 year’s experience working directly with large datasets to build numerous and diverse Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Models. Specific expertise includes creating Regression, Random Forest, PCA, Deep Learning, Neural Networks, and other models to perform image classification, text and data classification, natural language processing and data pre-diction. Experience building machine learning models, statistical modeling, probability and decision theory, and other quantitative techniques. Full life-cycle experience and can script data from Rest API’s and scrape data from online sources. Currently seeking full-time employment as a Data Scientist or Machine Learning Engineer. I have the Full LifeCycle Experience - I have the ability to find, scrape, and get Data; Clean, transform and perform data hygiene; Analyze and find trends, build machine learning forecasting models, KPI's, Charts, Dashboards and important metrics using statistical processes; Present and make stories of Data to decision makers, C-Level executives, and others regardless of their technical knowledge. I am also a candidate for Masters of Science in Data Science from Northwestern University with expected graduation date August 2021.
