Turning Complex Data into Clear, Actionable Insights
I'm a Data Science master's candidate with a passion for building and refining machine learning models that uncover the stories hidden within data.
About Me
Hello! I'm Harneet, a data science enthusiast currently pursuing my Master's at VIT University. My journey from a statistics undergraduate to a data science professional is fueled by a passion for solving puzzles and uncovering hidden patterns in data.
I believe that every dataset holds a story, and I enjoy the process of bringing that story to light through careful analysis and robust modeling. This balance between analytical thinking and creative pursuits allows me to approach problems with a unique and holistic perspective.
My Projects
Here are some of the projects I've worked on that showcase my skills in machine learning and data analysis.
NLP-Powered Mental Health Classification
Architected a multi-class NLP pipeline to classify 51k+ social media posts, resolving severe class imbalance using a hybrid sampling technique (strategic downsampling and SMOTE). Systematically evaluated 7 machine learning models, identifying a hyperparameter-tuned SVC (RBF) as the champion classifier with a peak F1-score of 0.721.
Hybrid Product Recommendation System
Developed a hybrid recommendation engine using collaborative filtering and advanced NLP, leading to a 480% increase in product discovery for users.
