PROJECTS

I have done numerous notable data science projects. I have experience in data wrangling and data processing, visualization and modelling. I can deploy
Machine Learning Applications and Models and work on end to end integration and data handling with Python + SQL. I can effectively build dashboards
using R shiny, R Flash Boards, Power BI and Python Dash. I have sound knowledge of applied statistical concepts like clustering, epidemiology, A/B testing,
Hypothesis testing, experimental design, regression techniques.

Movie Recommender Systems—

Performed an extensive exploratory data analysis on Movies Metadata collected from TMDB. I also built two extremely minimalist predictive models
to predict movie revenue and movie success and visualize which features influence the output (revenue and success respectively) Built an ensemble
of few recommendation algorithms (content based, popularity based and collaborative filtering) and try to these models to come up with a final
recommendation system.

Stock Market Analysis and Prediction —

Used SQL & pandas to get stock information, visualized different aspects of it and looked at a few ways of analyzing the risk of a stock, based on its
previous performance history. Predicted future stock prices through a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) method.

Spam and Non-Spam Mail Detection —

Used Random Forest Models, Support Vector Machines and K-Nearest Neighbors Supervised Learning methods to build Machine Learning model for
detecting and classifying spam and non-spam mails.

Sentiment Analysis using Python, NLP, NLTK —

Did extensive sentimental analytics for-
• Analyzing the twitter social media discussion around a certain topic
• Evaluating survey responses.
• Determining whether product reviews are positive or negative

Credit Card Fraud and Anomaly Detection —

Used Deep Learning and Machine Learning tools to build a model trained using data of credit card transactions for a bank to detect anomalies and
fraud transactions with accuracy of 99.62%.

Data Visualization of World Happiness Data—

Built an interactive R World Map Dashboard and various visuals on World Happiness Data gathered from UN.

Web Querying & Indexing using Elastic Search, Kibana and JSON—
Engineered an entire system for user query from an extensive corpus of documents loaded into Kibana having Java Script Object Notation (JSON) using
Elastic Search which is used by enterprises in their internal web servers.

TATA Motors Car Pricing Model—

Modelled a multiple logistic regression model on R to predict car prices using different factors that influence car prices by using previous production
and sales data.

Legal Article Classification —

Using text analytics and NLP to classify articles and predict the right topic for a new topic using Naïve Bayes classifier, SVM, Deep Learning Techniques
for two level taxonomy data.
