Machine Learning

From recommendation feeds to cluster analysis, I use a variety of machine learning techniques to applied, design, and implement machine learning models. I also provide ongoing support and monitoring to ensure the models continue to produce accurate and useful results. Whether you're just starting to explore the potential of machine learning or looking to optimize your existing models, I can provide the insights and tools needed to achieve your goals.

Dashboards

Explore your data with a custom, dynamic dashboard written in Python, R Shiny or Power BI. I work with businesses and organizations to develop custom dashboards that provide valuable insights and facilitate decision-making. Using these tools, I can help organizations integrate their data sources and create interactive, user-friendly dashboards that meet their specific needs. The goal is for businesses to leverage their data to improve their operations, identify opportunities for growth, and make data-driven decisions.

Natural Language Processing

Use natural language processing (NLP) to analyze customer feedback for sentiment or classify topics. Customers are talking and it is easier than ever to listen thanks to modern sentiment analysis techniques. I work with businesses to extract customer reactions from textual data.

Data Visualization

Tell a story with your data using leading data visualization methods. Graph generation can be automated on a weekly or monthly basis, on updated data. Using either Python or R, I create graphs and other visuals that can be integrated into presentations or reports to illustrate business points or interpret complex data.

More About Megan Payne

I am experienced in machine learning, recommendation systems, and clustering. Additionally, I use data visualization techniques to present insights and results. Python, R, and SQL are the tools I use to accomplish these goals.

Data Analytics

Use predictive models and machine learning techniques to get more value from your data. Identifying patterns, trends, and insights in customer data can aid in reducing website churn or recommending relevant products to customers, for example.

Dashboards in Python and R

I create interactive dashboards to help customers quickly understand and interact with complex data through charts, graphs, and tables. By filtering on different elements, customers can drill down into specific data points, filter and manipulate data, and explore relationships between different data elements. Technologies I have used include Python Plotly Dash and R Shiny.

Data Analysis

As a data science consultant, I help organizations make sense of their data through exploratory data analysis, statistical modeling, and machine learning techniques. Using data analytics tools, I provide insights that allow organizations to make informed decisions and drive business value.

Machine Learning

As a data science consultant, I specialize in machine learning which enables systems to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed. By developing and deploying machine learning algorithms, I help organizations identify patterns and optimize outcomes. Whether it's predictive modeling or natural language processing, my expertise in machine learning allows me to deliver powerful solutions that drive business value.
