Hello, my name is

Jacob

I bring value from every level of the enterprise.

I am a software and machine learning-artificial intelligence engineer with skills in best leadership practices.

About Me




I seek to improve your organization’s ability to create value by synthesizing software engineering and data science skills with Lean-Agile paradigms. I apply my technical and value-production skills to bridge the communication gap throughout the entire development chain.

Simulation of Random Walks
Python Modelling Biology
Simulation of Random Walks

Animal movement predictions through a random walk simulation. Implementation and assessment of the performance of several of movement schemes in two dimensions

  • Biased Random Walks (BRW)
  • Correlated Random Walks (CRW)
  • Biased Correlated Random Walks (BCRW)
Coarse-Grained Simulation of a Protein
Python Modelling Biology
Coarse-Grained Simulation of a Protein

Protein structure prediction through a dynamics simulation through a two dimensional coarse-grained model of a protein which consists of a chain of N amino acids. Each amino acid is represented by a circle connected to amino acids via an harmonic spring potential.

Simulation of Flocks
Python Modelling Biology Swarm Intelligence
Simulation of Flocks

Illustration of swarm intelligence through a flocking example utilizing coherent emergent behavior (flocking) of a swarm, when each agent is

  • Attracted to other agents
  • Repulsed when too close to other agents
  • Performing velocity alignment with other agents

Examination of this behavior in 2D; the swarm will be composed of N agents; each agent will be defined by its position (p) and velocity (v).

Shakespeare or not Shakespeare: that is the question

Authorship verification analysis of William Shakespeare and Thomas Middleton’s collaboration with the stylometric “rolling classification” method from the package ‘Stylo’ in the R language, utilizing supervised machine-learning classification” along with “sequential analysis” in order to inspect texts’ “stylometric signals.” Results support the hypotheses of Middleton's varying degree of contribution to "Shakespearean" plays.

How can the bees, be?
Modelling Biology Population
How can the bees, be?

Test the correlation between honeybee hive population and temperature range experienced throughout the year. Full data science cycle of

  • aggregating,
  • cleaning,
  • transforming, and
  • analyzing

the population and weather data with time series and scatter plots. The study suggests that there is a weak correlation between honeybee colony population loss and three-month temperature ranges. Further studies can contribute additional insight on the correlation between temperature and honeybee colony populations.
