Projects

  • 2023.02 - Present
    KScanner: A Python Library for Automated Clustering
    KScanner is a novel combination of DBSCAN and K-Means clustering that uses automated Epsilon and MinPts approximation to identify the correct model parameters for DBSCAN. The output of DBSCAN is then fed to K-Means as the value for n_clusters to lower the total amount of iterations to determine appropriate cluster amounts.

    UCSB Reads: Community Policing and Just Mercy
    In collaboration with the UC Santa Barbara Library, I developed a community round-table event which brought together Isla Vista Foot Patrol and UC Police Department officers to discuss issues related to mass incarceration, the death penalty, and racial bias.
