Welcome to my sandbox of data-driven innovation!

I’m Ty Andrews, a data scientist & engineer with a unique blend of skills that bridge the gap between technical engineering and cutting-edge data science. My expertise lies in harnessing the power of data, particularly from sensors and utilizing NLP techniques to fuel product development. With a background in both product development and technical engineering roles, combined with my proficiency in cloud computing and AI, I thrive on transforming vague objectives into concrete, measurable outcomes.

I believe that data is the key to unlocking new possibilities, and I’m dedicated to leveraging my skills to bring innovative ideas to life. Whether it’s turning complex data streams into actionable insights or crafting AI-driven solutions that drive meaningful change, I’m excited about the impact we can achieve together.

Some interesting projects I’m proud of are:

MetaExtractor: Finding Fossils in the Literature

Partner: Neotoma Paleo-Ecology Database


This project aimed to identify research articles which are relevant to the Neotoma Paleo-ecological Database (Neotoma) using machine learning. Extract data relevant to Neotoma from the articles using NLP techniques for named entity recognition (NER). And finally designed a web app with Plotly Dash for the data to be reviewed by Neotoma data stewards then submitted to Neotoma.

June365

Data Scientist & Product Development @ Fisher & Paykel Technologies


June365 was a digital personal trainer paired with a SmartDeck which contained electric motors and sensors to provide tracking and feedback for users. I developed the patented 3D hand measurement system which measures users hand position in 3D space to within ~5cm. I used this to develop real time technique feedback system to help users exercise at home safely and efficiently.
