About Me

I'm Shelton — a sophomore CS student at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln who loves turning data and code into useful tools. I build end-to-end projects (Java backends, Python ML, SQL) and explain results clearly with tests and visuals. I'm looking for internships where I can ship real features, learn fast, and contribute from day one.

NFL QB Touchdown Predictor

AUC: 0.88 Dataset: 2,500+ games Features: 15

Built an NFL QB Touchdown Predictor that estimates the chance a quarterback throws a TD in a game. The model uses XGBoost trained on 2,500+ games with 15 recent-form and context features, achieving AUC 0.88 with calibrated probabilities. I added SHAP so users can see which factors drive each prediction. It's deployed as a simple Streamlit app—upload a CSV and get instant, explainable results.

Experience

Lead Installer

Thrasher Concrete Summer 2024

I worked hands-on fixing real homes with foundation issues. I led a team of 4 people, making sure everything was safe and up to standard. The job taught me responsibility, teamwork, and how to stay calm when things get tough.

Math Tutor

Dominion College, Zimbabwe 2022–2023

I helped high school students understand math better by breaking it down in simple ways. Almost all my students passed — some with flying colors. It made me realize how much I enjoy helping others learn.
