Empower Yourself with Data Science

My goal in Data Science is to deliver valuable insights at an affordable cost

MyCaddy

A physics-informed Python tool for golf shot planning, MyCaddy models distance adjustments due to lie, wind, and flyer conditions. Designed for on-course decision-making, it uses rule-based logic and markdown-delivered outputs to help golfers optimize club choice and target strategy in real time.

Salifort Motors | Employee Attrition Prediction

My Google Capstone Project on applied machine learning (XGBoost, logistic regression) on HR attrition data to identify key turnover risks. Used Python (Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-learn) to uncover drivers like job satisfaction and overtime. Findings were shared via stakeholder-facing dashboards and Jupyter-based scenario testing.

Real Estate Price Modeling | Ames, TX

Built a generalized linear model (GLM) in R to predict home prices using Ames Housing data. Feature engineering included log transforms, interaction terms, and regularization. Delivered insights through an R Markdown report with visualizations, aiding pricing decisions for real estate investors and analysts.
