Overview

My project work spans data engineering infrastructure, machine learning, and interactive data visualization. I'm interested in building end-to-end systems — from raw data ingestion and pipeline architecture to predictive models and polished visual outputs. Below is a selection of projects from my coursework, internship, and independent work.

At GFG Holdings, I work on production-grade systems processing hundreds of thousands of records weekly. In my coursework, I've explored everything from NBA shot prediction to cryptocurrency adoption analytics. Each project has pushed me to think carefully about data quality, model interpretability, and how to communicate results clearly.

I work primarily in Python, SQL, and JavaScript, and have built pipelines using n8n, PostgreSQL, and the OpenAI API. I'm always looking to take on problems that sit at the intersection of technical depth and real-world impact.

Machine Learning Class Project
NBA Models & Results

NBA 3-PT Shot ML Model

DS 3000 · Fall 2025

Group project with Joshua Chan, Jonathan Barrientos & Itai Schwarz

A machine learning class project analyzing 45 years of NBA data to investigate the relationship between 3-point shooting and offensive efficiency. Using the NBA API, we built and compared multiple regression models — linear, polynomial, and multi-variable — targeting offensive rating as the outcome variable. The results showed that 3-point efficiency is a stronger predictor than volume, with our best model achieving an R² of 0.654 and MSE of 7.773.

  • Pulled and processed 45 years of historical NBA data via nba_api
  • Built and compared 4 regression models across efficiency and volume metrics
  • Best model: R² of 0.654, MSE of 7.773
  • Findings suggest 3PT efficiency matters more than attempts for offensive output

Machine Learning Personal Project
College Earnings Predictions vs Actual College ROI Predictions vs Actual

College ROI Predictor

Personal Project · 2025

A personal project building two Random Forest regression models to predict graduate earnings and return on investment across 1,000+ U.S. universities using the Department of Education College Scorecard API. The ROI model performed significantly stronger than the earnings model, achieving an R² of 0.875, with cost-based features far outweighing prestige metrics as predictors. Also my first time building a front end to present results.

  • Built two separate models: earnings prediction (R² 0.458) and ROI prediction (R² 0.875)
  • Cost and tuition variables outperformed selectivity and prestige as ROI predictors
  • Data sourced from College Scorecard API across 1,000+ institutions
  • First personal project with a front end to display results

What Impact Can Financial Engineering Have On Hastening The Transition To Sustainable Energy?

Journal of Student Research · Published Nov 2023

Co-authored with Prof. Samuel Montañez, Universidad Panamericana

Peer-reviewed research examining how financial engineering can accelerate the global transition to sustainable energy. Analyzed the $2+ trillion green bond market across 65+ countries, with a comparative case study of Mexico's energy policy shifts from 2011 to 2023, demonstrating a strong correlation between market liberalization and green bond issuance growth.

  • Quantitative analysis of global green bond issuance trends across 65+ countries
  • Case study of Mexico's energy policy shifts (2011–2023)
  • Demonstrated 81% higher green bond issuances following market liberalization
