Computer Science Undergraduate • Data Analysis Focus

About

I am a Computer Science student at Montclair State University (graduating May 2026) with a minor in Data Science. My work focuses on understanding behavior in real datasets and presenting results clearly rather than building models in isolation.
My coursework has involved working with real-world data, statistical analysis, and visualization. I’ve led technical presentations and collaborated on software projects where I designed and implemented user-facing interfaces that interact with backend systems.
I am particularly interested in how data supports decisions, identifying patterns, explaining why they occur, and turning analysis into practical tools people can use.

Project Roadmap

Month 1 — Behavioral Data Analysis

Analyze a real dataset and communicate decision-oriented insights with strong visuals.

Month 2 — Predictive Modeling

Build an interpretable model that supports a decision (metrics + tradeoffs + explanation).

Month 3 — Decision Support Tool

Deploy the work into a usable tool (API + simple UI) and document it clearly.

Projects building in public

This section will grow month-by-month. Each project will include analysis, visuals, and conclusions.
