Wildfire management and prevention research using machine learning. Real world fuel visualization using 3D tools.
Hi I'm Jake BovaI am a highly motivated and skilled computer science student with a strong academic record and a passion for problem-solving. I have a broad range of experience in software development, including experience with multiple programming languages, web technologies, and mobile development. I am also proficient in using various cloud computing platforms.
In my previous roles as a software developer intern and tech support specialist, I have demonstrated my ability to learn quickly, adapt to new challenges, and work effectively as part of a team. I am also a team player and I am always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done.
In addition to my software development skills, I have also gained experience in data science and machine learning. I have taken courses in machine learning and data mining, and I have applied these skills to solve real-world problems in my coursework and personal projects. For example, I built a machine learning model to predict wildfire severity. I am also interested in using machine learning to develop new products and services.
I am eager to learn and grow as a data scientist, and I am confident that I have the skills and experience necessary to be successful in a challenging and rewarding career. I am looking for an opportunity to work on challenging and innovative projects in the data science and machine learning field, and I am excited to contribute to the success of a team.
Currently working towards a Master's in Computer Science at the University of Montana.
Research areas include machine learning in the wildfire space, fuel visualization, TBD
