BuzzBench
- Developed BuzzBench, a social media monitoring and analyzing platform with a modular structure, based on an interactive dynamic dashboard.
- Implemented a sentiment analysis algorithm based on a Bayesian classifier, in C#.
- Implemented a crawling, structure-simplifying, and text-processing (stemming, word dictionaries, and more) system for collecting social media and digital news information, in C#.
Technologies: jQuery, JavaScript, ASP.NET, C#
Experience
BuzzBench
Led and developed BuzzBench, a social media monitoring and analysis platform. The platform crawls social media profiles, blogs, and other online sources for information that is then analyzed in terms of sentiment and relevance for the customer.
Developed and implemented a Bayesian network based algorithm for supervised sentiment analysis, as well as several crawling modules and linguist analysis tools.
Implemented the dynamic, interactive dashboard that allows customers to filter and combine the information gathered to get new insights and discover meaningful relations.

Ubar
Designed and implemented an information gathering and normalization system for structured finance information.
Using a meta database (based on MongoDB) the system records information on different types of funds and other financial instruments.
Implemented a web client that allows users to search and analyse the information at different levels, as well as use it to create portfolio simulations.

CropScape
Implemented a GIS framework for accessing data through a web interface. The framework allows the development of interactive GIS applications using data from heterogeneous data sources, while supplying tools for analyzing and processing that same data.
When integrated in AngularJS applications, CropScape allows developers to create rich GIS user interfaces.
