Patrick Ojunde is an experienced Java/Python software engineer. His passion for building intelligent systems led him to pursue a career as a machine learning engineer. He has worked on both personal and team-based data science projects; some of which include building predictive/time-series models deployed on the web via Flask & FastApi, and analytics dashboard built with Python, Tableau and Google Studio.

He is a regular article contributor of articles covering programming and machine learning on platforms like medium.com, thepythonhut.com etc.

He is currently open to entry level job as a software and/or machine learning engineer ready to work with teams and apply his knowledge of statistics, and skills in software engineering and machine learning to solve business problems.

I built a model that predicts whether a customer would purchase a bank's term sheet or not. The business problem the model seeks to solve is optimization of the bank's marketing effort.

I also built a dashboard with tableau that provides actionable insights from the bank's data.

In this project, I applied my skills in data modeling with PostgreSQL and build an ETL pipeline using Python.

In completing the project, I defined fact and dimension tables for a star schema for a particular analytic focus, and wrote an ETL pipeline that transfers data from files in two local directories into these tables in PostgreSQL using Python and SQL.

I and a team of data scientists built a predictive model to predict likely future sales of pharmaceutical products across multiple stores.

The predictive model was served as an end-to-end product that delivers this prediction and Analysis on the web.

We applied our skills both as machine learning engineers and software engineers to build a web application in Python that allowed users interact with the model over the web

Here is the link to the Web Application hosted on Heroku.
