NLP Application

An application I created to recognize text patterns using Sklearn's TfidfVectorizer and NearestNeighbors. Comparisons were reliable at 30% confidence, yielding 59.5% accuracy overall. The output was used to match CRM contacts from one dataset to CRM accounts in another to create necessary connections in the data.

About Me

I am years old and living in Salt Lake City with my wife, Susannah. I completed my bachelor's degree in Information Systems in Spring, 2023. Susannah studied painting and drawing, also at the University of Utah. We like to spend time with our family and friends and get outdoors when the weather is nice. I love to learn. Learning about new tools and technologies is one of my favorite things to do, and I dream of being part of companies that develop new and exciting tech that makes people's lives better.
