Somewhere between a p-value
and a production deploy.

Data Science student with a unique edge: 8 years of enterprise data experience in SAP IS-U & FI-CA. I bridge the gap between deep operational data model, modern AI-ML, RAG/LLM systems, and data engineering.

01 — Selected works

Real data, real reports.

From seminar projects with industry partners to independent builds — every card links straight to the readme, report, or live demo, so nothing has to be taken on trust.

Parcel Demand Forecasting

2026

Weekly parcel-volume forecasting for a major logistics operator — 37 customer-product lines, a 16-week horizon, three years of history. Benchmarked 14 models (naïve, Croston, ARIMA, Holt-Winters, ML, robust shrinkage) under 7-fold rolling time-based validation; matching a model to each line beat the best single global rule by ~14%. Figures withheld for confidentiality.

Customer Onboarding Segmentation

2026

K-Means trajectory clustering sorting new grocery customers into three archetypes by the shape of their first 23 weeks — including an 11% "fading" cohort worth 6.5× more, with Week 9 as the trigger to act. Part of a wider engagement covering lifecycle segmentation, market-basket analysis and 8-method anomaly detection. Figures withheld for confidentiality.

German Wholesale & Retail Trade

2025

Multi-dimensional analysis of 8,064 Destatis records (2005–2020, WZ2008) across industry, firm size and time. Found a stable 28.69% mean gross yield and clear economies of scale — firms with 20+ staff reach ~2.3× the labour productivity of micro-operations.

Manaslu High-Altitude Forecast Alerter

2026

Automated forecast pipeline for Mt Manaslu (8,163 m): pulls Open-Meteo API data, vertically interpolates it onto six climbing bands via geopotential height, checks safety thresholds, and ships twice-daily digests + real-time danger alerts over email / Telegram / SMS. GitHub Actions-scheduled, SQLite-deduplicated, 99 offline tests.

Phi-3 Finance LLM — Fine-Tune & Deploy

2026

Fine-tuned Microsoft's Phi-3 Mini (3.8B) on a purpose-built 400-pair personal-finance Q&A set using QLoRA (4-bit, LoRA rank-16). Merged the adapter into a standalone 7.6 GB model, containerised it with Docker + FastAPI, and deployed it on GCP Vertex AI behind a multi-turn Gradio chat UI — taken end-to-end from dataset to a live cloud endpoint over 11 deployment iterations.
