Applied analytics

Business focused case studies

Projects connect modeling and SQL work to churn, ridership, sales, and market analysis.

Technical range

Python, SQL, modeling

The portfolio combines data cleaning, visualization, machine learning, and software fundamentals.

Foundation

Tested implementation

Coursework in algorithms and data structures supports the applied analytics work elsewhere on the site.
