Market Basket Apriori Analysis

Welcome to my Market Basket Analysis project! In this project, I delve into the fascinating world of consumer purchasing patterns using the Apriori Algorithm. By analyzing market basket data, I uncover interesting relationships between items that are frequently bought together. This project not only showcases my data analysis skills but also my ability to apply machine learning algorithms to real-world scenarios. Highlights: Dataset: Kaggle's "groceries-dataset" Techniques Used: Data preprocessing, One-hot encoding, Apriori Algorithm Key Insights: Frequent itemsets, association rules, and purchasing patterns Curious to learn more? Check out the full article and detailed insights on Kaggle: View on Kaggle Please note, there is still a bit of work to be done on the analysis. https://www.kaggle.com/code/rileynoe/grocery-data-apriori-for-market-basket-analysis

100 Days of Python

I recently embarked on the "100 Days of Python Coding" course (link provided below) to refresh my Python skills from college. Led by Dr. Angela, this course has proven to be an invaluable tool for reintroducing myself to the world of coding. Dr. Angela's course is meticulously designed to not only revisit foundational Python concepts but also to delve into advanced topics that enhance practical coding proficiency. With each day's lesson, I find myself gaining new insights and honing my problem-solving abilities. The structured approach of dedicating consistent time each day has been instrumental in reinforcing my understanding and boosting my confidence in Python programming. If you're looking to rejuvenate your coding skills or embark on a journey to master Python, I highly recommend Dr. Angela's "100 Days of Python Coding" course. It's a transformative learning experience that empowers you to apply Python effectively in real-world scenarios.

Journey to AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification

Recently, I've found myself increasingly captivated by the transformative possibilities of cloud computing. Inspired by its scalability, flexibility, and efficiency, I've committed to pursuing the AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification. This certification will serve as my gateway into understanding Amazon Web Services (AWS) and mastering essential cloud computing concepts—from foundational principles to practical applications in security and compliance.

Creating My Data Science Portfolio

This project-in-progress has proven to be an invaluable learning experience. Several months ago, I embarked on the journey of building a website to showcase my skills in data science. This platform will serve as a digital record of my certifications and projects, illustrating my growth and proficiency over time. Developed primarily using the Django framework and Python, the website is hosted on Heroku Postgres with AWS S3 handling file storage. I owe much of my progress to Corey Schafer and his comprehensive Django Tutorial series on YouTube {{https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-osiE80TeTtoQCKZ03TU5fNfx2UY6U4p}}—a resource that I highly recommend for anyone interested in mastering Django.
