Adam Pfister

Hi

My name is Adam Pfister. I perform paid and volunteer custom data science services for a diverse range of partners using database management, data cleaning/organizing, exploratory and statistical analysis, visualizations, machine learning, artificial intelligence, deep learning, and natural language processing to answer questions, uncover patterns, improve efficiency, and increase sales / customers.

Sample

Two Cannabis Recommender Systems. The first uses supervised machine learning to classify cannabis strains based on their chemical lab tests, helping a retail store to better consistently market products to customers. The second uses natural language processing to recommend cannabis strains based on the similarity of the input strain's text description, helping the customer to identify best fit products, similar to a Netflix recommender system.

Predicting UFC Fights with Machine Learning. This project uses exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, and supervised learning models to theoretically predict the winner of a UFC fight with 79% probability using only a handful of fighter attributes.

What Makes a Winning Fighter? Clustering UFC Fighter Attributes with Unsupervised Learning. In this project I attempt to use unsupervised learning and dimensionality reduction methods to discover the patterns and key attributes that make a winning fighter. Methods include feature engineering, discovery analysis, Kmeans, principal component analysis (PCA), T-sne, and mean shift.
