My name is Elias Tavarez. I was born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico, but have spent the majority of my life in the states. I am a Data Scientist working for BASF in their Production Artificical Intelligence team.
I am also currently pursuing my Masters in Information and Data Science (MIDS) from the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to my role as a data scientist I was a chemical engineer post-graduation from the University of Michigan.
Outside of work, I enjoy:
- โฝ๏ธ Sports | Specially ~futbol~ (I am a big Liverpool fan) but love all sports and doing anything that keeps me moving
- ๐ Reading | Which unfortunately, I don't have as much time as I'd like because of school, but I try to keep up
- ๐ฅ Movies | I thoroughly enjoy a good film and specially love watching them with my sister
Most of the coding I do is in Python
and all of it's related libraries. However, I have had experience with and can get around with other languages/technologies such as
R
, HTML&CSS
, and C++
but again, my strength lies with Python
. As you can imagine by virtue of being a data scientist, I am experienced in:
- Developing and Deploying Machine Learning Models
- Data Wrangling
- Data Cleaning and Preprocessing
- Data Visualization
- Deep Learning
