Hey! My name is Ronn. I'm a software developer and tech-enthusiast currently pursuing my Masters degree in
Computer Science at Northeastern University, Boston. I wish I could say that computer science was something I had a strong passion for from
the very beginning, but that would be a lie. Computer science is a field that grabbed my attention over the years, and I wanted to
be a part of the fast-paced field which has led to solutions for most of the domains. At this very
moment the world of software development has taken over me, and being able to be a part of the big picture has helped me gain
clarity on how development plays a role in all our lives. My experience has helped me perceive how developers
make a difference, and being a part of it has made me love what I do even more. When I'm not writing code
or developing software, I'm either reading up on blackholes, space-time articles or writing
blog posts. Hit me up if you want to talk about software development, maching learning or anything related to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Through the use of reinforcement learning techniques, we successfully constructed a Q-learning agent and a Deep Q-learning Network agent which successfully solved the Cartpole-v0 problem in the OpenAI gym toolkit.
Artificial Intelligence, Reinforcement Learning, Deep Learning, OpenAI, Python, Tensorflow, Keras, Pandas, Sci-kit LearnImplemented the PageRank algorithm in Hadoop MapReduce framework and Spark using RDD APIs, in order to parallelize computations of ranks, and deployed onto AWS EMR cluster.
Java, Scala, Apache Spark, Hadoop MapReduce, Amazon EMR, Amazon S3Designed and implemented Full Stack application using React, Mongoose, Express and Node.js (MERN), allowing users to register for, and add/search for recipes with RESTful web services/APIs depending on user role.
ReactJS, MongoDB, Express, NodeJS, JavaScript, Web Development, RESTDeveloped custom indexer, retrieval/evaluation system and vertical search engine using Python for increased precision on retrieval models such as Okapi BM25, TF-IDF and vector space cosine similarity algorithms using Python, ElasticSearch, and Kibana.

Additionally, the analysis was furthered to build a classifier using Random Forests and Decision Tree to determine whether a Pokémon is of a certain type (legendary).
Data Mining Techniques, Data Processing, Machine Learning, Logistic Regresssion, Data Visualization, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scipy, PythonDeveloped and deployed a full stack web application using MEAN on AWS Amplify that interfaces with Fitbits via REST APIs to log stress times using indicators (heartrate, EEG,..) and view stress indicators on a dashboard.
