    • Gained an understanding of how to use different visualization and analytical tools such as SAS, Tableau, and D3

    Fall 2017 Innovation with Chick-fil-A
    Created a customer segment identification engine that utilizes PySpark in a Hadoop Environment and Chick-fil-A customer data to identify customers and tailor marketing strategies
  • Groomed a dataset of 1 million people using the Chick-fil-A One app, and clustered them based on ordering behavioral patterns
  • Configured (using Bash scripts) and utilized an Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) environment for distributive data processing
  • Used Principal Component Analysis on 70+ columns to visualize segments in a 3D space using Plotly
  • Plot of customer segments after PCA reduction: plot.ly/~jeremy.dibattista/10.embed
  • Successful results prompted the increase in funding to purchasing and using customer data for enterprise solutions

    • Spring 2017 Internship with IT at Chick-fil-A
    Created a speech detection bot that can assist, display, respond and access in store operations and sales data in real time
  • Worked with in-store Production APIs to allow questions about on the clock employees, and daily sales and operating efficiency
  • Allowed for questions such as menu recipes, holding times, ingredient logs, and equipment usage
  • Essentially we created a more robust, free form, and Chick-fil-A specific version of the Amazon Show
  • My role on the team was formatting the skill model, lambda, and dynamo table. (Angular web app pursued by teammates)

    • Speech bot was leveraged to gain an additional increase in innovation spending from Chick-Fil-A executives
  • The final presentation of the design leveraged funding to an innovation center in Midtown Atlanta.
  • Presented to the former CIO of Google X, as well as Chick-fil-A's CEO, CIO, and other leadership.
  • Presented in a restaurant of the future showcase to all Chick-fil-A operators in February 2018
  • cfa-certified-trainer-webapp-new.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/

    • Wrote Machine learning algorithms (Ridge Regression) to detect and predict trends in item sales data
  • This supervised machine learning algorithm used product mix data and sklearn Python algorithms, and was generally was able to give the accurate number of a specific items sold in the next 2 weeks within a 5% margin

    • Wrote scripts for a conversational order taker AI using Python natural language toolkits and Levenshtein distance formulas
  • Wrote portions of the conversation flow. In addition, gained an adept understanding of natural language processing in breaking down sentences to find meaning and continue meaningful conversation.

    • Relevant Projects
    Currently spending free time exploring creating educational software as a learning experiment that will utilize machine learning to better cater to student needs
  • Project includes use of skills such as Flask, AngularJS, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy

    • Relevant Coursework

    Investments / Business

    Introduction
    Throughout my time in college, I have had a passion for wanting to utilize my advanced computing skills and bring these to a financial analytics role. I love working and dealing with investments and money, as well as the thrill of problem solving computer science provides.  I spend hours daily on LinkedIn, Forbes, and Yahoo Finance just reading the latest news and trends in finance as well as IT.  This has lead me to pursue opportunities mixing both of these disciplines. I hope to continue to expand my breadth in this area and find opportunities that allow me to do so .

    Machine Learning for Trading
    During the spring of 2018 I enrolled in a course called Machine Learning for Trading. This course was by far my favorite class, and aimed to teach high frequency trading concepts using ID3 decision trees, markov decision processes, and Q learning algorithms. I am passionate about this area and want to learn more.

    Denning Technology and Management Program
    I am currently enrolled in this competitive minor program which will yield me a minor in Computing and Business. The purpose of joining the program is to give my computing background knowledge of business fundamentals such as management, finance, investing, accounting, and networking.  In addition, as part of the program, I participated in a study abroad in Hong Kong and Shenzhen to earn an international business certificate from the University of Shenzhen. I plan to use my participation in the program to pursue ways to merge my love for finance and computing.

    Investments Committee
    For 2 years in college, I was a member of Georgia Tech's Investments Committee. The goal of this was to research and present on good value companies for increasing Georgia Tech's endowment through wise investments and stock allocations.
    During Spring 2017, I was a Senior Analyst in the Investments Committee

    Personal Investing
    I take pride in my ability to wisely manage money for my future self. I have had a passion for watching savings grow my entire life, and have had a job since I started a dog walking business at 10. My freshman year of college I took all of the money I had earned and put them into various investments accounts that I manage myself, and I have seen great growth and success. This has lead me to become commonly sought after by peers for advice on stock allocation. Since freshman year, I have established multiple portfolios using my own money including Individual Taxable accounts as well as Roth IRAs, and I dedicate myself to creating sustainable saving for the future, whether that money goes into a house, retirement, or even a startup/business venture is yet to be seen.
