Repository

Developed a predictive model (Random Forest / XGBoost) to identify the top 30% of customers most likely to open marketing emails. The model increased reach by 25% while maintaining send volume, validated through A/B testing and an automated retraining pipeline.
Tech: scikit‑learn, XGBoost, MLflow, pandas, matplotlib, seaborn
Repository

Built a multi‑agent system (Google ADK) that ingests Instagram data via CSV or Meta API, normalizes it, and applies LLM‑powered analytics (engagement rates, posting patterns, forecasting). Outputs BI‑ready datasets for PowerBI and Tableau with a Streamlit interface.
Tech: Python, Google ADK (Gemini), pandas, Streamlit, Meta Graph API
