Bio

I am a outdoor activities aficionado. I like camping, hiking and swimming and always wanna seek a connection with nature as a balance. Meanwhile, I am a data scientist with a robust background in business and marketing. Expertise includes parsing through complex data, developing machine learning models, and utilizing Python and Tableau for analysis and visualization. Have successfully executed practical projects, such as utilizing various machine learning models and time series analysis for sales predictions for 11teamsports, and developing and deploying a loan approval prediction model for the finance sector.

Personal projects

Online Sales Prediction for 11teamsports
April 2023 - April 2023

This project aimed to develop a robust and accurate sales prediction model for 11teamsports, a leading online retailer specializing in football and team sports equipment in Europe. My approach combined Supervised Learning (using Linear Regression, XGBoost, and Random Forest models) with Time Series Analysis (employing SARIMA and FB Prophet). Among all models, the SARIMA model delivered superior results, signifying the potential for more accurate predictions with an extended, broader historical dataset.

Loan Approval Prediction and Deployment
March 2023 - March 2023

In this solo endeavor, I developed a supervised learning model to predict loan approval outcomes, with the model successfully deployed to the cloud. Upon model completion, API testing was conducted locally before final deployment on AWS cloud, validating its performance in a live environment.

This project illustrated the potential of machine learning in assessing loan eligibility and improving decision-making in the financial sector.
