Code to Delete Records Fast

This code deletes records using the bulk collection. I proposed this as a process improvement to the Bank of America. An existing job was deleting all records by using a for loop. I proposed this script that uses bulk collect and for all. This process improvement created a fivefold reduction in the time it takes to delete records.

A Predictive Model for the Number of Approved Non-immigrant Visas in the US

This project aimed to predict the number of non-immigrant visa issuances for any predetermined country and any predetermined visa type. In order to solve the problem proposed above, we attempted to predict the number of visa issuances by analyzing the trends of different non-immigrant US visa types worldwide. In summary, we compared three different machine learning models to select the most accurate one and made predictions for future years using the chosen model.
