About Me

I am a 24-year-old graduate student currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Data Science at Regis University. I enjoy learning new things and pushing myself to grow both academically and personally. I am naturally curious and like understanding how systems work, solving problems, and building skills that will help me in my future career.

Outside of academics, I enjoy content creation, music, art, and going to the gym. I like creating and sharing ideas, whether it is through music or other creative projects. Staying active and maintaining a disciplined routine is also important to me, and the gym helps me stay focused and balanced. My goal is to continue developing my skills, build a meaningful career, and grow into someone who can make a positive impact in both professional and creative spaces.

Mood Detection With Music Recommendation System

Machine Learning Data Science Python VS Code Jupyter Notebook Git GitHub Scikit-learn Pandas NumPy Matplotlib Seaborn Plotly

This practicum project looks in the development of a mood=aware music recommendation system using publicly available spotify datasets.With the exponential increase in the growth of music streaming platforms, listeners can choose from hundreds and millions of songs, which makes discovering new music relevant to taste, context, and mood. In this project, a content-based recommendation approach is developed using numerical audio features extracted from Spotify datasets. Features such as danceability, energy, tempo, loudness, and valence, which describe the musical properties and emotion of songs. Each track is represented as a feature vector, and similarity between songs is calculated using cosine similarity and nearest neighbor techniques. The system retrieves songs with similar acoustic characteristics and generates recommendations accordingly.
