Junior Data Scientist building wearable-data stress detection pipelines and fine-tuning transformer models for financial text classification.
TurkeyWhat I'm looking for
My data science projects include a real-time stress detection pipeline using smartwatch biosignals and a deployable smartwatch application for continuous stress monitoring. This work was part of my senior capstone project, which was a published academic paper.
I also fine-tuned DistilBERT, BERT, and RoBERTa on FOMC communications to classify monetary policy stance. As a Computer Engineering graduate, I’m transitioning into Data Science and Machine Learning and am currently looking for opportunities in this space.
