Work Experience

British Airways
Remote
Data Science Intern
Tech Stack: Python, Pandas, scikit-learn, Streamlit, Jupyter Notebook
  • Cleaned and transformed 1,000+ customer feedback records using Python and Pandas, resolving inconsistencies and structuring unstructured text to prepare data for modeling.
  • Performed exploratory data analysis and feature engineering on feedback text, extracting signal for sentiment and topic classification and producing candidate features for model training.
  • Built and validated a text classification pipeline using scikit-learn (feature extraction, model training, evaluation) and assessed performance with accuracy, precision and recall to ensure alignment with stakeholder requirements.
  • Developed 3+ interactive Streamlit dashboards that translated model outputs into visual summaries and class distributions for non-technical stakeholders, enabling faster data-driven decisions.
  • Documented preprocessing, feature selection and validation steps in reproducible Jupyter notebooks to ensure handover and repeatable experiments for the analytics team.
  • Collaborated with business stakeholders to define annotation guidelines and label schema, improving label consistency and enabling more reliable supervised model training.
The Spark Foundation
Remote
Data Science Intern
Tech Stack: Python, Pandas, scikit-learn, XGBoost, Git, Jupyter Notebook
  • Executed 5 supervised and unsupervised ML tasks (regression, classification, clustering) end-to-end, achieving an average model accuracy of ~90% across defined problem statements.
  • Conducted structured EDA and hypothesis testing prior to modeling to improve data readiness and reduce iterative rework during validation phases.
  • Applied iterative feature engineering and hyperparameter tuning using scikit-learn and XGBoost, improving baseline model performance by up to 40%.
  • Validated models using appropriate metrics (R² for regression, confusion matrix and accuracy for classification) and applied cross-validation to ensure generalization.
  • Authored 5+ technical write-ups documenting methodology, code and results for non-technical audiences; combined posts reached 500+ views demonstrating clear communication of findings.
  • Maintained reproducibility using Git and Jupyter Notebooks and participated in Jira-based workflows to track tasks and deliverables.
