A graduate student at USC, data science enthusiast, experienced full stack engineer!

Hi,
My name is Abhishek Jangalwa and, I am pursuing MS in Data Informatics. I am interested in applications of machine learning in real world problems. Currently I am working at USC Information Sciences Institute (ISI), as a graduate research assistant on the TILES (Tracking Individual Performance using Sensors) study. I am developing a Machine Learning Pipeline using Spark and Python which would help the Data Scientists to extract features from raw sensor data and start creating models within minutes, also providing means for model evaluation, cross validation and hyper-parameter optimization. I am also a part of BEAM which is a multi-disciplined group of post-docs, graduates, and undergraduates interested in the analysis and modeling of human behavior and experiences. I have practical experience of mining big data and end to end data science projects. I also possess in-depth knowledge of Web Development and Full Stack Engineering.
