Maddie Rubin is a sophomore studying Risk, Data and Financial Engineering at Duke. She is passionate about software engineering, product management, and film, and worked with Birdie, a movie-recommendation start-up, to explore these interests over the summer.
Ask me a question about this poster! Please send me an email.
Always great to see a DAML project on display. Lauren really is fantastic, no? Filtering out pornographic data and other debauchery from the internet is sadly a weirdly common occurrence when web scraping—says a lot about humans if you ask me. In general, there are pretty good open-source python libraries for doing this. Just for future reference.
The manner in which you turned your failures into learning experiences is inspiring. I admire your perseverance and grit.
I <3 you. Your resiliency in the face of a challenge is admirable. Good work this summer!
Awesome work! I hope that this experience was a time well spent! It sure sounded like it was! I really like the poster too! Awesome!
What a fantastic example of perseverance and the positive results of trial and error. You even created a recommendation website that I’m sure many people would appreciate!
Birdie’s choice to tackle the choice of movie recommendations is interesting! I’m glad you encouraged yourself throughout your work and decided to learn from everything, it’s great to see how much you picked up in the start-up environment.
This is so awesome! Hilarious accident/mishap story that I’m sure you learned from rather quickly. I’m invested to see how a partnership with a dating app could influence this exciting start up.
This seems like it was a great learning experience (in more ways than one)! Webscraping is a super fun and marketable skill, and nothing makes for a better project experience story than a comical “failure”. Super cool how many different technical tools you got familiarized with while still getting solid PM/”business side” experience.
Glad to see that you were able to continue your DAML project from the spring! You’ve done great work as a product manager and engineer, and it looks like you’ve learned quite a bit as well!
