On parking garage data, added circular statistics to hour of the day and day of the year, and increased accuracy on generalized linear model by 1% from 77% to 78% using h2o Flow. Started learning the basics of TensorFlow, computational graphs, constants/variables/placeholders, sessions.
Reading Hands-on, chapters 2 (data processing, scikit-learn pipelines), 9 (intro to TensorFlow), and 14 (RNNs and LSTMs).

SpotMe, viewing and cleaning parking garage data so that it can be used to train a machine learning model. Learned about a tool called h2o.ai.

2018-06-13W
Started working for SJSU student-led startup SpotMe Solutions.
