    Logistic Regression and K-Fold Implementation

    Implemented LR model and K-Fold validation from scratch. Performed EDA on Parkinson's and Stocks dataset.

    NLP Text Classification - Reddit

    Implement Bernoulli Naive Bayes classifier with Laplace Smoothing from scratch (without any libraries)

    Hand-Tracking

    Real-Time hand tracking project using OpenCV and Mediapipe

    Supply Shopping

    Use is presented with a list of supplies and their costs. The user enters how many items they would like to purchase, and the total is calculated.

    Chess Winner Status

    The user enters the status of their current chessboard, and the program decides if there is winner or not. Then, they are able to move their players and re-evaluate the status of the board.

    Movie Predictor

    The user answers a series of questions based on the (currently limited) database of movies. Based on the sequence of answers, the program outputs the matching movie.
