Summary

I am a researcher in the field of information technology, where I explore the latest developments and innovations in computer science and engineering. I am also a student who is pursuing higher education and learning new skills and knowledge. One of my hobbies is pc hardware, which I enjoy building, upgrading, and testing for optimal performance and functionality.

I have expertise and experience in various domains of computer science and software engineering, such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, application development, database administration, and project management. I have applied my skills and knowledge to create, maintain, and improve various business applications that solve real-world problems and provide value to users. Some of the projects I have worked on include:

Machine learning: I have used various machine learning techniques and frameworks in bioinformatics algorithms, such as deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and scikit-learn, to build models that can perform tasks such as sentiment analysis, image recognition, text summarization, and recommendation systems.
Artificial intelligence: I have developed intelligent agents and systems that can interact with their environment and achieve goals, using methods such as search algorithms, logic programming, knowledge representation, planning, and reasoning. I have also explored the ethical and social implications of artificial intelligence and its impact on society.
Application development: I have designed and implemented software applications for various platforms and devices, such as web, mobile, desktop, and cloud. I have used languages such as Java, Python, C#, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and tools such as Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, Android Studio, and Xcode. I have also followed best practices such as agile methodology, version control, testing, debugging, and documentation.
Database administration: I have managed and administered databases that store and process large amounts of data for various business applications. I have used relational databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server, and non-relational databases such as MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis, and Neo4j. I have also performed tasks such as data modeling, query optimization, backup and recovery, security, and performance tuning.
Project management: I have led and coordinated teams of software engineers and developers to deliver high-quality software products within time and budget constraints. I have used tools such as Jira, Trello, Slack, GitHub, and Microsoft Project to plan, organize, communicate, collaborate, monitor, and control the project activities. I have also applied methodologies such as waterfall, scrum, kanban, and lean to manage the project lifecycle.

My main interest and passion is to discover new patterns and insights in data and business analytics, and to use them to improve the company’s business model and strategy.

I enjoy working with various types of data, such as structured, unstructured, and streaming data, and applying different analytical techniques, such as descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics, to extract valuable information and knowledge from them.

I also like to use various tools and technologies, such as R, Python, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, and Azure, to perform data analysis and visualization. By doing so, I aim to help the company make better decisions, optimize processes, increase efficiency, reduce costs, enhance customer satisfaction, and gain competitive advantage.

I have expertise and experience in the field of machine learning which led me to know, which is a branch of artificial intelligence that enables computers to learn from data and perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence. All of this let to know that what is bioinformatics.

I have worked with various types of machine learning, such as supervised learning, where the computer learns from labeled data and makes predictions based on the learned patterns, and unsupervised learning, where the computer learns from unlabeled data and finds hidden structures and relationships within it.

I have also used big data analytics, which is the process of analyzing large and complex datasets to uncover useful information and insights. I have used tools and frameworks such as Spark, Hadoop, TensorFlow, and scikit-learn to handle big data and apply machine learning algorithms to it. Some of the projects I have worked on include:

Supervised learning: I have built models that can perform tasks such as classification, regression, and recommendation, using techniques such as logistic regression, decision trees, support vector machines, neural networks, and collaborative filtering. For example, I have developed a model that can classify images of animals into different categories, such as dogs, cats, birds, etc., using a convolutional neural network and used it in a bioinformatics pattern recognition.
Unsupervised learning: I have built models that can perform tasks such as clustering, dimensionality reduction, and anomaly detection, using techniques such as k-means, principal component analysis, autoencoders, and isolation forest. For example, I have developed a model that can cluster customers based on their purchase behavior and preferences, using k-means algorithm. All of which were used in bioinformatics.
