Dominique Desert
@dominiquedesert
Full-stack developer passionate about data science and AI solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated full-stack developer with a strong passion for data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. My journey in technology began at a young age when I built and sold my first app, CoreIdea, which processes files and generates notes. This early experience ignited my desire to leverage technology to solve real-world problems.
Currently, I am the founder of DataViz, where I developed a Flask app that auto-visualizes CSV data, serving over 200 weekly users. My previous projects include CoreIdea, a file-to-Markdown web app that I successfully sold, and Firebase-Populator, a Python package that has gained over 1000 downloads. I have also conducted independent research in machine learning, achieving impressive accuracy in Airbnb price predictions and developing neural networks for complex data analysis.
