About Me
| Jared Zirkes | |
|---|---|
 |
I am a first year graduate student working toward a Master of Science in Data Science and Analytics from Georgetown University. I also completed my undergrad at Washington University in St. Louis, studing Economics and Finance. Professionally, I spent the 3 years working in market research at NielsenIQ, where I helped our clients to both forecast sales for their new product launches and optimize their launch stratigies. In my free time, I enjoy working on baseball analytics projects, creating and testing new recipes, and keeping track of all my favorite mediocre Minnesota based sports teams. |
Projects
Below are some of the key data science projects I’ve worked on:
- Baseball Hall of Fame Analysis: A project aimed at analyzing historical BBWAA Baseball Hall of Fame voting trends, and utilizing career statistics of players to predict future Hall of Fame inductees.
- MLB Game Simulation: A machine learning model to simulate MLB plate appearances based on player and team data, used to simulate MLB games and player stat lines.
- News Recommender System: A document retrieval system designed to recommend news articles from diverse viewpoints.
