Data Science and Machine Learning Blog – http://nickareias.github.io/. Blog about my personal projects. I explore different problems while aggregating and analyzing many data sets, showing my thought process and results as I go. Utilized python with pandas and sci-kit learn to quickly clean and gain information from data. Learning Pac-Man – JavaScript heuristic search algorithm that teaches Pac-Man to complete a randomly generated level by learning from his mistakes. https://github.com/nickareias/LearningPacMan
