Work

Treasury Yield Forecasting

01

Treasury Yield Regime Forecasting

Regime-aware neural networks (FNN, CNN, LSTM, Transformer) forecasting the 10-Year U.S. Treasury yield from a decade of FRED macro, market, and Fed policy data. A domain-informed hybrid model reaches R² ≈ 0.91 out-of-sample, with Fed-funds and CPI shock simulations.

ATP & WTA Tennis Match Predictor

02

ATP & WTA Tennis Match Predictor

Predicts pro singles winners on the ATP and WTA tours using overall and surface-specific Elo plus XGBoost, trained on match data from 1991 to the present. Beats rank and Elo baselines on 2022+ held-out matches (AUC 0.716 ATP / 0.713 WTA) — and you can try the model live, right in your browser.

EPL NLP

03

EPL Transfer Narrative NLP

NLP + network science on Premier League transfer press coverage and Reddit discourse from 2016–2025. Quantifies how hype independently predicts competitive outcomes beyond financial spend alone.

MLS Narrative Network Analysis

04

MLS Narrative Network Analysis

PageRank on press and Reddit co-occurrence networks for 28 MLS clubs — ~7,200 articles and ~15,800 posts, 2018–2024. Narrative attention tracks performance (r = 0.41) but fails to predict next-season points, a rigorous null result — plus a causal estimate of the Messi signing's media effect.

Electricity Forecasting

05

Household Electricity Demand Forecasting

PyTorch LSTM forecasting daily household electricity consumption from multi-year power usage data structured as supervised learning sequences. Evaluated on RMSE, MAE, and R².

Telco Churn TabNet

06

Telco Churn — TabNet

End-to-end churn analytics on 7,043 IBM Telco customers using TabNet's attentive interpretability, benchmarked against logistic regression, random forest, and XGBoost. Surfaces high-risk segments (42.7% month-to-month churn vs. 2.8% two-year) and frames outputs as ROI-aware retention targeting.

Mall Analysis

07

California Mall Sales Analysis

Exploratory analysis of 99K+ sales transactions across 10 malls (2021–2023), profiling customer segments and mall characteristics to identify drivers of sales performance and inform marketing strategy.

Nvidia Analysis

08

Nvidia Financial & Strategic Analysis

Comprehensive analysis of Nvidia's strategic position — supply chain, GPU/AI market dynamics, competitive moat, and DCF-based financial forecasts with pro forma modeling.

OCTA Travel Forecast

09

About

I'm a data scientist and analyst with an M.S. in Business Analytics from Loyola Marymount University. I build systems that translate messy, real-world data into decisions people can actually act on.

My work spans machine learning, NLP, deep learning, and financial modeling — with a consistent focus on domains where the stakes are high: healthcare, finance, and infrastructure. I think carefully about what a model is actually saying before I report what it found.

Outside the code, I'm a football obsessive (YNWA), a Formula 1 tactics nerd, and someone who thinks the best analytics work starts with a genuinely interesting question.
