Data Science Projects
Ride-Sharing Promotion Impact Analysis in NYC
Developed an interactive Tableau dashboard analyzing 2021 ride-sharing data from Uber, Lyft, and taxis in NYC to evaluate the impact of a promotion in a specific borough. This tool provides ride-sharing managers with actionable insights on market trends, fare fluctuations, and geographic usage patterns to inform strategic decisions and optimize market presence.
Redlining, Speculation, Displacement in the City of Boston
Partnered with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council to build a scrollytelling website featuring five interactive visualizations using React and D3 in JavaScript. This project provided crucial insights to policymakers on the impact of speculative investment on resident displacement, influencing policy decisions by highlighting historical redlining and current investment trends in Boston, aiming to protect vulnerable communities.
Predicting Hourly Demand for Boston BlueBike Service
Forecasted hourly BlueBike demand using Random Forest, XGBoost, Prophet, and SARIMA time series models in R with a precision of within 2 bikes, informing strategic dock allocation to enhance system efficiency. Analyzed over 5.4 million bike trips and weather data from 2017-2019, identifying key factors such as temperature and commuter hours to optimize resource allocation and improve customer satisfaction.
Financial Fraud Detection System
Engineered a comprehensive financial fraud detection system utilizing Neural Networks, Optimal Classification Trees, Random Forest, and XGBoost on a dataset of over 200K credit card transactions. This system accurately pinpointed fraudulent activities with over 90% accuracy.
