Hey there, AJ here 🀘

Software Developer, published AI researcher in Bioinformatics and Master's of Computer Science graduate based in London πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ πŸ§‘β€πŸ’».

πŸ“ Current projects

  • πŸ“šπŸ”­ pySAR - my Master's Thesis was within the field of Bioinformatics, studying the effect mutations can have on the fitness/activity of different proteins/enzymes using Machine Learning and Digital Signal Processing techniques, building a Python Software package called pySAR. I got this research paper published within the Journal of Biomedical Informatics, and is available here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1532046422000326.
  • πŸ“šπŸ”­ DCBLSTM_PSP - a similar Bioinformatics project to pySAR, predicting the secondary structure of proteins using their initial sequence, making use of LSTM deep learning and neural networks. This work was also published within the Computers in Biology and Medicine journal and is available here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001048252500808X.
  • 🌎 iso3166-2 - a Python application and accompanying RESTful API that stores up-to-date, reliable, bespoke and accurate data for the over 5000 regions/subdivisions across the world, according to the ISO 3166-2 standard, making any region's data accessible via a single command. This dataset pulls dataset from my other custom-built ISO 3166 related datasets iso3166-flag-icons and iso3166-updates.
  • 🌎 iso3166-flag-icons - a unqiue, bespoke and verbose dataset of over ~3500 country and regional flags, a dataset that is not easily available across any platform, including GitHub. This dataset interlocks with my other two ISO 3166 related repositories iso3166-2 and iso3166-updates.
  • 🌎 iso3166-updates - a Python package and accompanying RESTful API that pulls all the latest updates for the ISO 3166 standard, from various data sources, which ensures that the aforementioned projects (iso3166-flag-icons and iso3166-updates) are kept accurate and up-to-date.
  • 🧬 protpy - a Python package for calculating a range of protein descriptors using their physicochemical, biological and structural properties. Built alongside and for use in pySAR .
  • 🧬 aaindex - a Python package for working with the various datasets of the AAIndex database (https://www.genome.jp/aaindex/). Built alongside and for use in pySAR .
  • πŸ“• pyWikiCommons - a Python package for downloading images and videos from Wikimedia Commons - based on now outdated Python 2 scripts.
  • 🧠 izhikevichSpikingNeuron - implementation of the Izhikevich Spiking Neuron model using Simulink and Xilinx tools.
