- Lead a workshop targeted to mainly beginners about PySpark and its uses in the real world. Helped explain the pros and cons of the technology and how it helps manipulate large amounts of data.
- Developed a project in Databricks using python and SQL which analyzed and showed important trends in Walmart sales from previous years.
- Developed a linear model to predict future sales.
- Identified, analyzed and interpreted trends in complex data sets using supervised and unsupervised learning techniques.
- Helped develop database solutions using multiple SQL languages.
- Performed advanced data extraction and data manipulation.
- Performed data administration duties for databases.
Accomplishments
- Walmart Sales Notebook(https://community.cloud.databricks.com/?o=1437623129899941#notebook/3843045526977963/command/3843045526977964)- In this project, I leveraged the power of Databricks, along with Pyspark (python apache spark) and SQL, to create a comprehensive Walmart sales notebook. By manipulating vast volumes of data, I explored the attributes influencing sales in specific stores and developed a predictive model to forecast sales across different Walmart locations. Additionally, I created visually appealing graphs to present the analyzed data.
- CodeRED Odyssey(https://replit.com/@AaronMathias/C-Monopoly)- During the CodeRED Odyssey Hackathon, one of the largest hackathons held at the University of Houston, I collaborated with a team of three individuals to develop an engaging Monopoly game using C++. This overnight hackathon showcased our abilities to design and implement a beginner-level project, resulting in our project being recognized as the best beginner hack among 50 competing projects.
- Mnemonic Decoder(https://replit.com/@AaronMathias/CompSci-Project1)- Developed using C++ on Replit, showcasing expertise in algorithmic problem-solving. Leveraging multiple nested loops, created a powerful program that decodes two 4-digit inputs into all possible combinations of 8-letter words, utilizing telephone keypad mnemonics. Demonstrated meticulous attention to detail and proficiency in implementing efficient solutions for complex challenges.
- Personal Tamagotchi Pet(https://replit.com/@AaronMathias/COSC-1437-Project-2)- Designed and implemented using C++ on Replit, demonstrating proficiency in Object-Oriented Programming (OOPS) principles. Created a dynamic simulation of a virtual pet, allowing users to interact through functions like feeding, punishment, and sleep, while ensuring optimal code syntax and performance.
Volunteering
- Manages the web design and content for Houston Konkan Community Association (https://www.hkcaus.org/), a community with over 100+ families.
- Volunteered at the Houston Food Bank 2018-2022, packing meals for underprivileged families
- During Hurricane Harvey, lead a team of individuals from St Laurence Church , Sugar Land in packing and transporting essential items to families in need.
