PROJECTS

DATABASE DESIGN – BORING LOGS

Designed a Database and data modelling using ER- studio and PHP for the Civil Department to maintain records of Boring Logs used in different locations across the country and filtered by Projects and Routes.

Database development of a logical and physical module using ER-studio and created a data dictionary and created the star schema and the Chen notation to get a clear idea of the database design and maintained the database and the data architecture.

Hands on Data Warehousing, SQL and data management providing good data quality

HEART DISEASE DATASET ANALYSIS – DATA ANALYST/DATA MINING

Downloaded the heart disease dataset or few data sources from the UCI website and started doing the data analysis and ETL to find out the patterns in the dataset using Weka, using predictive modeling, Optimized data with analytical skills and data mapping to get a clean integrated data

Big data involving thousands of records, optimizing big data and data collection, analyzing data.

performed analysis and find out the missing attributes from the dataset using various algorithms such as J48, Random Forest, Bayesian and clustering techniques such as Simple-k means algorithm and found out the age >= 66 are more prone to heart diseases.

BETTY FRIEDAN – USING NEO4J

Started by collecting data about her from social media, her yearbooks, online advertising and designing a database by using the dimension table to get a relationship of all the tables associated to her, and feeding them onto csv files with all the clubs and its member from 1935- 1938

Imported them on neo 4j a graph database which would depict the students as nodes and the relationship as edges with attributes of the club name and the year associated to it.

The graph would center Betty Friedan as a node and all students that she interacted with, a better quality
