Coding Projects

As a full-time data scientist, there are many things that do not fall under my job description (e.g. web development and time series analysis) and many things that do (e.g. deep learning and NLP).

It's important to build new skills and to improve existing ones, whether they are relevant to your day-to-day job or not. So here are some of the coding projects I've worked on in my spare-time.
