Vinod Kumar Yerraballi
Professional Summary
Data Science graduate with hands-on internship experience in supervised and unsupervised learning, NLP text classification, and end-to-end project delivery. Proficient in Python-based data engineering, feature engineering, model validation and visualization with proven ability to produce reproducible analyses and stakeholder-ready dashboards. Seeking an entry-level data scientist role to apply statistical foundations and machine learning skills to business problems.
Technical Skills
Work Experience
- 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.
- 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.
