Hi, I'm Arshman Khalid

Data Scientist
and Data Analyst
Based In Australia.

About Arshman

As a self-directed and meticulously driven Data Scientist, Arshman Khalid has extensive knowledge in Machine Learning, Software Engineering, and Agile Environments. Throughout his career, his work ethic, proven track record with data analytics projects as well as business intelligence and cloud technologies, brought significant value to the decision making-process of his teams. In 2021, he co-founded CloudLyte, a thriving startup that focuses on the development of IT services to increase efficiency, safety, and quality for its partners and clients.

Arshman’s substantial understanding and grasp of Reporting Technologies, the ICT industry, and his ability to gather requirements using human-centered design and UX principles are a few of the technical qualities behind his comprehensive approaches. From translating business requirements into technical specifications to building and maintaining positive relationships with the different stakeholders involved, Arshman is passionate about utilizing advanced technologies in order to solve business-related issues and challenges.

The missions and projects handled in CSIRO empowered him with hands-on experience in the development of predictive Machine Learning tools and workflows and the management of large datasets, all while being an active member of a multi-disciplinary and often regionally dispersed research team. Before relocating to Australia, Arshman was a Full Stack Developer in Conrad Labs, Pakistan, where he successfully operated in an agile environment to create product and business value. Before joining the workforce, he made sure to bring additional value to his academic studies by developing several cloud-based solutions, dashboards, and advanced algorithms to polish and enhance his skills.

Because he believes in the importance of continuous learning, Arshman constantly monitors the latest research news and developments in Data Science methods and technologies to stay ahead of current trends and upgrade his competence. Before obtaining his Master’s Degree in Data Science from the University of Melbourne in 2022, Arshman received his Bachelor of Software Engineering from the University of Management & Technology (UMT) in Lahore, Pakistan. In order to experience global education, he was fortunate enough to gain two positive Undergraduate Exchange Student Programs, at Tianjin Polytechnic University (China) and Northeastern University of Illinois (USA).

    Projects

    Here are some of his selected works he have done lately. Feel free to check them out.

    Twitter Data Processing

    Cluster and Cloud Computing

    This project aims at delivering a simple, parallelised application that leverages the power of the University of Melbourne High-Performance Computing(HPC) facility named SPARTAN. Using TwitterGeoProcessor package, a large dataset of geocoded twitter file can be explored and analysed for extracting relevant information such as the number of posts in individual regions and trending hashtags in each one those regions. The package has been implemented on python and designed with the concepts of MPI (Message-Passing Interface) for effectively improving the performance of processing on the HPC environment.

    Analysing Victorian Road Crash Data

    Information Visualization

    Road Safety data is provided by VicRoads for educational and research purposes. This dataset contained fatal and injury crashes recorded on Victorian roads in Australia between July 2013 and March 2019. There were 74,908 observations in the dataset. This data allows users to analyse Victorian fatal and injury crash data based on a range of factors like time, location, conditions, crash type, road user type, object hit etc.

    Statistical Machine Learning

    Several advanced level MAB algorithms i.e., Thompson sampling MAB, TS contextual MAB with linear payoffs, TS MABs with fair exposure, SquareCB contextual MAB with a regression oracle were implemented.

    Authorship attribution (Identifing author of a given document)

    Statistical Machine Learning

    The goal of this project was to predict whether an author was responsible for a particular piece of work. As part of the training, I was provided the publish year, keywords, co-authors, and venue associated with each piece of work. It was expected to perform prediction on 2000 test samples and predict whether the author given for a piece of literature was the real author for the work.

    Arshman is an intellectually sound and patient person. He always puts his best foot forward and is quite hardworking. He is always a team player and it's been great collaborating on multiple group projects with him. He has a unique passion for technology and all things data. Cant wait to see the great things he achieves!
