Global Security & Intelligence • MBA • MSc

I'm a Morgantown based Global Security Manager & Data Scientist with a background in Intelligence and Analytics. My current research focus is on the use of efficient algorithms to improve threat detection and optimize security resources.

I'm also interested in the use of Artifical Intelligence using NLP and Computer Vision to improve the efficiency of security operations.

Projects

Convolutional Neural Network in R

Deep Learning in R: Leveraging R to create a CNN for image categorization

Leveraging the cifar10 dataset we build a CNN to categorize images. Although rudimentary, the principles leveraged here can be scaled to work on any image dataset.

Generative Art in R

Generative Art Using R: Leveraging R to create generative art

Using R, we explore the idea of genertive art without training the algorithm on previous work.
