Flight or Plight

Between January and March 2015, I was a data science fellow at Insight Data Science. This fellowship was designed to help Ph.D. holders transition from academia to data science. During this time I built a web app called Plight or Flight. This app predicted the chance of your flight being delayed by using a Gradient Boosting Machine classifier to factor in the airport, airline, weather, and the date and time of your flight. At the conclusion of this program, I was hired by Axon Vibe as a data scientist.

While the app is not online anymore you can view presentation slides below.
