Each project folder contains its own notebooks, supporting files, outputs, and documentation where applicable.
Methodological Approach
The projects generally follow a structured analytics lifecycle:
Define the analytical problem and project context
Inspect, clean, and prepare the dataset
Conduct exploratory data analysis
Engineer or transform features where required
Train suitable machine learning models
Evaluate results using appropriate metrics
Interpret model performance and limitations
Present findings in a clear and decision oriented format
This workflow is intended to reflect the kind of disciplined project development expected in professional data analytics, business intelligence, and applied machine learning roles.
Data Handling Note
Large raw datasets and heavy intermediate files are intentionally excluded from this repository to keep it lightweight and suitable for public portfolio review. Where relevant, dataset sources, processing logic, and reproducible workflows are described within the project notebooks or project level documentation.
Excluded files may include large raw datasets, generated NumPy arrays, model artifacts, or intermediate outputs that are not required for reviewing the analytical methodology.
