Let me Introduce Myself

Hello, my name is Ricky Martin, I am a professional Data Scientist currently employed as a Mid-Level Machine Learning Engineer. I have over 5 years of professional applied experience and utilize my efforts best I can to work on projects that serve to benefit society.

I recently graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Cognitive Science with a specialization in Machine Learning and Neural Computation. My immediate goal in life is to find a team that is working on state of the art technology where my knowledge and skills as a programmer can be fully utilized, built upon, and tested.

When I am not hard at work I like continuing my very important expedition to find New York's best coffee, Crossing off bucket list tasks, or catching up on all the video games I keep swearing I will have the time to play one day.

My Skills and Services

Professional Skills

Showcase of skills developed in alignment with my passion for Technology

Programming

I am both knowledgeable and experienced in using Python, SQL, and C++ personally and professionally. Through different projects I have also been exposed to Java, javascript, css, Matlab, and C.

Computer Science Fundamentals

Having 5 years worth of CS related experience, I possess a strong understanding of concepts such as data Structures, Algorithms, space /time complexity, dynammic programming, and much more.

Machine Learning

I am extremely confident in both understanding and utilization of many Machine Learning algorithms (supervised, unsupervised, Deep, and Reinforcement) as well as different ML frameworks (Scikit-Learn, Tensorflow, OpenCV, Keras, etc.).

Applied Machine Learning

I have end-to-end experience taking Machine Learning algorithms out of jupyter notebooks and applying them to different environment as needed. As evident of Flask/docker implementation of my chatbot.

Data Gathering and Cleaning

Within different positions and projects I have utilized data from online sources (Kaggle, Github, UCI, etc.) but have also worked extensively with data personally gathered (lead generation, live data, time-series data, web-scraping)

Data Modeling and Visulization

Within any ML focused position a strong understanding of Data Analysis is imperative in utilizing data in the most useful/info gathering way. Data Vis tools such as Tableau, Matplotlib, or plotly are essential tools for this.

Active Learner

With every job I do, there is always so much to be learned. I believe in constantly learning and I personally love the feeling of being completely stumped by an assignment only to spend multiple hours learning more just to figure it out. Within this ever changing field, active learning and the ability to teach myself all that is needed has been the one tool I cherish most.

Team Work

Most of the positions I have worked in, I have been a part of a team. Through teamwork I have personally seen the importance of working with others, not only in allowing for a smoother workflow (ex. Agile), but also to reach out and ask for help, or offer assistance when needed. Having others around you has actually become a very prominent tool I have seen the importance of.
