Good to meet you, I'm Yuka.
Learn more about me!
I’m inspired by the power of machine learning algorithms and deep neural networks and am fascinated with relational databases and data analytics. I love the practicality and creativity of working on code that has real world applications and can solve simple or very complex problems. It excites me to see coding projects come to life on a web app, whether it’s using different Python libraries, Node.js frameworks, or integrating SQL. Although I am self-taught mostly in Python and SQL, I am motivated to learn and expand my technical skills in other programming languages and technologies.
I have worked as a healthcare professional for over 5 years and have unique and valuable insights to bring to a talented team. I am highly organized, logical, and analytical in my way of thinking. I love working with numbers, tracking data, organizing information, and coming up with creative solutions to challenges.
It is important that I live where I am happy, spend more time with the people I love, and contribute to the world in a meaningful way. It has become more clear to me that remote work is the future in this digital age we live in and I value the freedom and flexibility that a remote job provides.
Developed a model that predicts the probability of excessive absenteeism from work. Preprocessed absenteeism data, applied a logistic regression model, deployed with a Python module, and then analyzed with Tableau.
View ProjectTackled the MNIST Handwritten Digit Classification Dataset. Developed a deep neural network for this image classification task using Python and Tensorflow 2.0.
View ProjectBuilt a machine learning algorithm for a business case study with data from an Audiobook company. This is a classification problem that predicts if a customer will buy another audiobook. Python and Tensorflow 2.0 were used.
