About

Efficient Backend Developer with 2+ years of experience in Software Engineering. I help companies turn complex data into accurate predictive models while maintaining a clean code base. • Improved Tackle’s cloud marketplace model's recall score by 15% by experimenting with new features from many datasets to train on • Earned the highest score at the ML Innovation Challenge at Dahlgren by developing python algorithms to protect Navy ships from enemy missiles, resulting in a $50,000 cash prize Additionally, I am an avid sports fan (go Eagles!) and sports players. As a sprinter for the CMU track and field team, I've learned how to be a team player while also staying active. Be it running, biking, or swimming, I’m a big believer that a healthy body promotes a sharp mind. I get excited about opportunities where I can leverage big data to discover insights and identify patterns that have real human impact. I enjoy writing sharp code to improve productivity for companies. I love connecting with new people, you can reach me at aweltz@andrew.cmu.edu
