Intro
My Introduction
Hello World!
Hello and welcome to my resume personal website. My name is Omar Zu'bi, and I'm a Data Scientist currently working at Sam Schwartz Engineering in New York City.
I'm excited to share my professional experience and skills with you.
I'm originally from Jordan, and I graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Industrial Engineering.
Since then, I've worked as a Data Scientsit in the Traffic Engineering and Urban planning industry, gaining valuable experience in data analytics & visualization,
forecasting modeling, Data ETL, and optimization modeling.
My passion for data science stems from my love of coding, engineering, and statistics.
I believe that my skills in big data analytics, machine learning models, and data visualization make me a valuable asset to any team.
Currently, I have 2+ years of experience in utilizing data to create meaningful insights and drive business decisions.
My greatest stregth is that I am passionate about developing data-driven solutions and leveraging advanced analytics to solve complex problems.
Some of my projects linked in my personal github and projects I've contributed at Sam Schwartz Engineering showcase my deep understanding of data mining, machine learning, predictive analytics, and statistical modeling.
I am also well-versed in data visualization and storytelling, which I use to communicate key insights to stakeholders. My experience in both data science and data analytics has enabled me to effectively collaborate with different teams and organizations. I’m skilled with a diverse set of tools including Python, R, and SQL.
When I'm not working, I enjoy 3D printing and modeling, minature painting, and walking my dog Mochi!
My goal with creating this website is to showcase my professional experience and skills to potential employers or clients.
I'm always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow in my field, so if you're interested in working with me, please don't hesitate to reach out!
Thank you for visiting my website, and I hope you enjoy learning more about me and my professional journey.
Sincerely,

Personal Projects
Projects I've worked on
01
Simulating COVID-19 Hospital Intakes
The purpose of this project is to replicate the fundamental functions of a hypothetical hospital during a health crisis, such as the COVID-19 outbreak. Such crises can potentially disrupt healthcare operations again in the future. The primary objective of the project was to increase the number of elective procedures while simultaneously ensuring that COVID-19 patients are being admitted in order to keep hospitals profitable. The simulation model and research paper are published in the following link: Click me!
02
Optimal EV Charger Placement
A 16-week group project I've developed for my Computation in Industrial Engineering course. The objective was to assist companies in determining the best charging locations based on US traffic volumes, with the ultimate aim of maximizing revenue and made use of public datasets from Kaggle. The project employed several programming languages and tools, including R programming, PHP, JS, HTML, MySQL, and a simulated annealing machine learning model was implemented. Click me!
03
Bike Centre for Purdue University
I designed and programmed sensors, speakers, and flashing lights to notify pedestrians when cyclists were deviating from bike lanes. We evaluated the efficacy of the safety device through random sampling and published our findings: pedestrians were 70% more aware of off-lane cyclists, w hich helped prevent collisions between pedestrians and cyclists. Our project was awarded first place in the class competition for its inventive solution and its ability to address everyday safety issues on campus.
04
Diagnostic Chatbot for TVS Motor's Servicing Dealerships
The diagnostic chatbot created for TVS Motor's Jupiter scooter line is a game-changer in customer service. Developed as a senior design project, this chatbot is set to be implemented globally across TVS dealerships and support multiple languages and product lines. With its ability to reduce servicing times by 25% and increase customer satisfaction, this chatbot will revolutionize the way customers interact with TVS dealerships
05
Java ML Snake Bot
A snake bot that created using Java to compete in ACM @Purdue club's competition. We've created diffrent versions of the bot on diffrent machine learning algorithims: greedy, neural network, and A*. Click me!
