Hi, I'm Cameron Dietz

Industrial E-Commerce Platform

Designed and built a full-stack platform for selling industrial parts with a focus on reliability, performance, and ease of use. Utilized Django and PostgreSQL for robust backend logic, secure APIs, and transactional integrity. Integrated a MongoDB-powered Node.js microservice to handle fast, unstructured product search and filtering.

Modern Frontend Stack

Built the frontend using Next.js 15 with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. Implemented Redux for global state management across shopping cart, filters, and user sessions. Developed responsive, mobile-friendly layouts for accessibility in industrial field settings.

AI-Powered Support

Connected the OpenAI API via Django to assist users with intelligent troubleshooting and context-aware, domain-specific support for product compatibility, diagnostics, and selection.

Secure Checkout and Payments

Implemented Stripe for secure payment processing integrated directly into the Django backend. All transactions and orders are securely stored and associated with user accounts.

Deployment in Industrial Environments

Deployed the platform on a Raspberry Pi using Docker containers for resource-efficient local hosting, with Cloudflare Tunnel for DDoS protection and automatic SSL.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Redux
• Backend: Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL
• Search Service: Node.js + Express with MongoDB
• AI: OpenAI API integration for customer support
• Payments: Stripe integration for secure checkout
• Deployment: Docker, Cloudflare Tunnel, Kubernetes, Raspberry Pi

Database Management: Designed and implemented a comprehensive database in Microsoft Access to manage and streamline data for over 6,500 parts including purchasing, vendor, and quoting information. Ensured data integrity and optimized performance through careful schema design and indexing.

Automation & Efficiency: Developed and deployed SQL queries and VBA scripts to automate routine tasks — data sorting, filtering, extraction, report generation, email distribution, and file management — significantly reducing manual effort.

Data Analysis & Visualization: Built a dynamic dashboard to track key business metrics in real time, supporting strategic decision-making.

Process Improvement: Continuously refined database architecture and processes to accommodate growing data needs and improve scalability.

Constructed a complete web application for a national car dealership that allows new and existing customers to look up branches by state and read customer reviews.

Django-Based Web Application

Developed a responsive site to showcase car dealerships and user reviews using Django. Designed dynamic pages for dealer listings, reviews, and review submission.

Microservices Integration

Integrated a Node.js Express microservice to manage dealers and reviews stored in MongoDB. Leveraged Django proxy services for seamless communication.

Sentiment Analysis

Deployed a custom Sentiment Analyzer microservice on IBM Cloud Code Engine to score user-submitted reviews.

Auth, Front-End & Deployment

Integrated Django's auth system, built a React-based front-end, Dockerized backend services, and deployed on Kubernetes with CI/CD pipelines for testing and linting.

Note: some services have been taken down so there may be some loss of functionality.

Analyzed a 14,999-row HR dataset to uncover insights into employee retention and build predictive models for identifying key turnover factors. Removed 3,008 duplicates, flagged 824 tenure outliers with IQR, and validated data types and missing values during preprocessing.

Key Analysis Steps

• Retention analysis: 16.6% of employees had left. Boxplots, histograms, and scatter plots highlighted that higher workloads increased turnover.
• Tenure & salary insights: Lower satisfaction (mean 0.44) for those who left vs. 0.67 for retained employees. Higher turnover among short-tenured, low-salary employees.
• Department trends: Counts revealed varied retention rates, indicating need for department-specific strategies.

Predictive Modeling

• Logistic Regression: 82% accuracy, macro F1 0.61.
• Decision Tree (GridSearchCV tuned): AUC 0.9587, precision 0.857, recall 0.904.
• Random Forest: AUC 0.9648 — top features were satisfaction level, average monthly hours, and tenure.

Results underscore the importance of job satisfaction, workload, and tenure in predicting employee departure — offering a data-driven approach to HR management.

C++ program that maps the most efficient route through terrain using topographical map data. Reads elevation values, processes them into a grayscale PPM image, and highlights the optimal path.

Input handling: Prompts for rows, columns, and the input file; validates and opens the file for reading.

Data processing: Stores elevations in a 2D vector and computes min/max for grayscale scaling.

Grayscale mapping: Maps each elevation to a 0–255 intensity stored in RGB vectors.

Path coloring: A colorPath function determines the least-elevation-change path and overlays it; the shortest is rendered in bright green.

Output: Writes a PPM file with grayscale terrain and colored overlay paths.
