PROFILE SUMMARY:

I am a graduate student with a master’s degree in Engineering Management from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I have extensive background in statistics and hypothesis testing, predictive analytics, variable and model selection for statistical analysis and developing self-learning models.

SKILLS:

R, SAS, MATLAB, MS Excel (VLOOKUP, Macros, VBA and pivot table), MS Access, Forecasting and decision making, SQL, Tableau, Minitab, JMP, SolidWorks, ARENA, SAP MM, MS PowerPoint MS Visio, Hypothesis testing, SAP HANA (predictive modelling and SQL scripting), python (Jupyter Notebook and Spyder)

PROJECTS AND COMPETENCIES:

• 2nd rank in NPower forecasting competition (Britain 2017): One day ahead load forecasting using neural network, substantially improved the model from a MAPE of 9% to 4%.

• Credit risk modeling to determine the credit score of a customer using logistic regression. Collapsed and dummy coded nominal variables to increase model’s predictive strength. Used univariate smoothing to incorporate non-linearities in the model. Performed cluster analysis using PCA analysis to create the most parsimonious model while keeping the information lost at minimum.

• Short term load forecasting using gradient boosting with a MAPE of 3.7% on one-year data using SAS.

• Visualized Sales data using tableau, trend analysis and trend adjustment.

• Developed a self-training model which imports and updates weather data from the web and generates hourly forecasts using VBA.

• Monte Carlo Simulation using EXCEL and scenario-based forecasting.

• Automated the reporting system of SK Constructions by using VBA Programming.

• Short term electricity load forecasting using machine learning techniques both supervised and unsupervised learning (ANN, SVM, kernel-based regression) using python.

• Used ARENA in Processing Systems and simulation’s project to recreate the working environment of a warehouse and determined the number of workers for maximum profitability.
