What if we want to rename thousands or millions of files all at once? It would be an excruciating or even impossible task to complete manually. Leveraging the power of the command line, we can easily rename many files all at once. Specifically, we can use the rename command to help us achieve this goal.
About Me
I have over a decade of experience in clinical research and I am currently working as a Senior Clinical Data Scientist within the Clinical Data Sciences team at Syneos Health. I have a strong background in Data Sciences with an expertise in Data Management and Data Analysis. In addition, I also have experience in web development and a strong interest in cybersecurity.
I completed my Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology and Computer Science at McGill University (2015). Motivated to acquire more knowledge, I obtained a Diploma in Internet Business Technology (2017) and a Certificate in Data Science & Machine Learning (2018). Having accumulated several years of working experience, I decided to pursue higher education and completed my Masters in Computer Science at the University of Montreal (2021).
Experience
As a lead Clinical Data Manager at Alimentiv, I am responsible for the execution of clinical data management plans and processes for collection, management, reporting and analysis of data on behalf of project teams and sponsors. I also collaborate with multi-disciplinary project teams and functional specialists to identify, update, maintain, test, and review project databases, data, related documents, reports and time lines. Additionally, I regularly review quality of data output ensuring all data created meets integrity, quality, validity, and reliability standards in accordance with project and sponsor guidelines, industry best practices and regulatory standards. Lastly, I liaise with sponsors, sites, and project teams to address data issues and queries and ensure stakeholders remain up-to-date on project requirements.
Furthermore, I have over 4 years of working experience at various companies and organizations, most notably with the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC). I was the lead Data Manager for the Canadian Co-Infection Cohort, a prospective clinical cohort of HIV and Co-Infected patients. In that role, I was the primary contact person for day to day data management tasks, from EDC development work to query resolution tasks. I participated in various data management activities required to ensure that the data was collected, managed and reported clearly, accurately and securely. Moreover, I oversaw the implementation of efficient ways to extract, transform and analyze data with high attention to confidentiality and security. Working in the field of research, I had many opportunities to collaborate with world-renowned physicians and researchers, contributing mainly in the data management and analysis components of various projects. During that time, I have also worked as a consultant for local medical clinics and healthcare organizations, providing insight on data-related inefficiencies and recommending optimization solutions.
Occasionally, I have also worked on web development and design projects as a freelancer. Curious by nature, I always enjoy learning new things, and with how accessible knowledge is nowadays, there is simply no excuses.
Projects
InnoVie Health
Python
R
JSON
Back when IBM launched its global competition IBM Watson AI XPRIZE, I was a member of InnoVie Health, a startup aiming to improve and optimize healthcare management systems. Given my background in data management, I mainly contributed in the data related tasks throughout the project. InnoVie Health finished among the top 10 teams in the AI healthcare division. To this day, I still believe that there are so many aspects in our current healthcare system that can be improved, and I will continue to contribute in one way or another and hopefully make an impact!

IndexedDB
Have you ever wondered what it would've been like for Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan to play together? Or what if LeBron James teamed up with Steph Curry? This web application allows us to simulate basketball games with a collection of players from every era! The website is created from scratch with HTML, CSS and Vanilla JavaScript, along with IndexedDB as the database.
Fake News Detection
Python
sklearn
Word2Vec
In this analysis, we study the potential power of artificial intelligence in the fight against the dissemination of fake news by exploring various machine learning algorithms. Given the imbalance in the number of fake news compared to real ones, we analyzed the effect of tuning the class weights during training. The results show that adjusting the weights can help improve the prediction of the underrepresented classes, at the cost of a slightly lower overall performance.
Word Embedding
PYTHON
SPACY
If I ask you to tell me what related words come to mind when I say "Hamburger", you would probably respond with "Buns", "Lettuce", "Tomatoes", "Ketchup" and so on. Our human brains are capable of understanding underlying relationships between words in the real world. In this project, we explore the capability and the performance of a trained model to find the closest neighbours to a given word.
Gallery Timeless

As I enjoy painting from time to time, I have decided to share my art on a personal website. However, I couldn't find any template that fully satisfied how I wanted to present my work. So I decided to build my own online art gallery from scratch! From the design to the functionality, I customized the website to the smallest detail. Gallery Timeless, art never fades.

When we talk about cybersecurity, the terms DES, RSA, AES and so on come to mind. In fact, these are all common encryption algorithms used in today's digital world. However, there exists many other techniques in the history of cryptography. Dating back from World War II, ENIGMA was an encryption device used for protected communication purposes. Going a bit further back in time, the Babington Plot and the Vigenère Cipher were ciphers used in the 15th and 16th century. Another classic example is the Caesar Cipher from the Roman Age. Although the majority of these techniques have become obsolete with time, it could still be interesting to understand how they worked and how they were eventually broken. We will explore several classical cryptography concepts and mechanisms, along with some concrete examples to illustrate their applications.

When we talk about databases, some of the most popular names include MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and so on. These databases are excellent for large scale projects with many users and processes involved. In fact, they are heavy duty commercial databases utilized by many large corporations. However, not everyone uses them. Having worked in the field of research for several years, one thing that I have noticed is that most organizations do not use any of the databases mentionned above. Given that their projects are on a smaller scale and that funding might be a limiting factor, a simpler alternative is used instead: Microsoft Access.

Hey there!
If you're reading this, then it probably means something about me piqued your interest! Well then, please allow me to officially welcome you to my blog! The motivation behind adding a blog section to my page is not only for me to document my work, but also to share my knowledge with whoever may find useful. After all, I myself have learned a great deal from other bloggers and I will always be appreciative for their willingness to share. If a single person takes something away from my experiences, I consider this a success :)
