John's Cool Data Story
As a prior academic project, a classmate was struggling to make sense of trends in his company’s help desk ticketing system. Tickets were created via email and did not have any uniform structure or templates. I used the gensim Python library to implement a topic modeling algorithm (an LDA model), revealing that VPN updates were the leading cause of tickets. The firm decided to deactivate VPN auto-updates and as a result, they were able to substantially reduce incoming tickets.

What I enjoy most about working at Cleartelligence is interfacing with clients to get to the root of pressing business problems and utilizing my experience in the field in conjunction with access to cutting edge technology partners to deliver best in class solutions.
