About me

Data Science graduate student with a strong foundation in designing and developing machine learning algorithms, analyzing large datasets, and applying feature engineering and statistical techniques.

Skillful in using Python, SQL, and data science methodologies, with academic training in Machine Learning, Data Mining, Statistics, and Database Management.

Selected work

Illustration of a human mesh with two traces showing movement

Radar-only 3D human reconstruction

I use four frames from one radar to estimate a moving person’s 3D pose and body shape. This is my graduate capstone at Wright State.

PyTorch · SMPL-X · CUDA · Slurm

Home Credit default risk

I combined seven loan and repayment tables to model repayment difficulty. Change a fictional applicant’s loan terms and payment history to see the score update.

Python · LightGBM · Feature engineering

Grid of 768 records with 268 positive diabetes labels highlighted

Pima diabetes prediction

I compared logistic regression, random forest, and a voting ensemble. Try a fictional record and adjust the cutoff to see how many positive cases each classifier finds.

Python · scikit-learn · Recall

Scatterplot of Bengaluru listing prices against floor area in two neighborhoods

Bengaluru home price prediction

Explore how a linear regression model estimates historical listing prices across 240 neighborhoods. Choose a location, floor area, bedroom count, and bathroom count.

Work experience

Admissions Assistant

Wright State University · University Center for International Education

Dayton, Ohio, USA

I managed application records, supported international applicants, and built Excel templates with VLOOKUP and pivot tables to convert international grades to the U.S. scale. I automated parts of the grade-conversion process for selected countries.

Data Intern

Codegnan

Vijayawada, India

I used web scraping and exploratory data analysis during my internship. For my travel-insurance project, I trained and tested machine learning models to predict whether a customer would file a claim.
