Next Generation Estimated Time of Arrival System
Built a highly-accurate system to estimate when cargo and intermodal trains will arrive on the North American major rail lines. The approach is implemented with a graph-style database in HBase and machine learning models developed on Spark. Set up a secured EMR cluster for the analysis.
Large Multinational Construction Company
Deep Learning for Complex Construction Sequencing
Extracted features from highly complex datasets and developed a reinforcement learning approach to determine the sequence and install order for millions of items (pipe, steel, concrete) on a construction site in three-dimensional space. Used GPU clusters to optimize construction planning prior to construction start.
