👋 Hello there! I'm Shanmuganathan Somashekar, a passionate and driven software developer with a focus on computational modeling and data analytics. Welcome to my GitHub profile!
🎓 I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Computational Modeling and Data Analytics at Virginia Tech, graduating in May 2023. Throughout my academic journey, I have gained a strong foundation in data analysis, statistical modeling, and programming languages such as R, SQL, Python, Java, and C. Additionally, I have a minor in Computer Science, which has further enhanced my technical skills.
💻 Here are some of the technical skills I have acquired along the way: R, SQL, Python, Java, C, Javascript, Jupyter Notebook, Rstudio, MATLAB, MS Office, Git, Tableau, Power BI, AWS, R Shiny, Linux, and various libraries such as Sci-kit-learn, NLTK, FinBert, spaCy, Pandas, NumPy, JSON, Beautiful Soup, MPI, Matplotlib, and PyTorch.
🔬 I have gained practical experience through professional internships and research projects. As a Data Scientist intern at Kearney and Company, I developed Python scripts to scrape webpages and parse PDF links, saving significant storage space. I also implemented machine learning models using FinBERT and NLTK, resulting in accurate client segmentation for business opportunities. Additionally, I contributed to the development of interactive Tableau dashboards to visualize audit findings and drive new business opportunities.
🌱 During my time as an Undergraduate Researcher at Virginia Tech, I analyzed ticket sales data for the Moss Art Center using statistical models. Through data-driven insights, I identified revenue potential increases and collaborated with the marketing team to develop targeted promotions. I also created interactive dashboards that streamlined data analysis processes, saving time and improving efficiency.
💼 In addition to my academic and professional experiences, I have worked on various personal projects. One notable project is the Superstore Sales Analysis & Data Visualization, where I developed predictive models and a comprehensive sales dashboard using machine learning algorithms and Tableau. Another project focused on conducting in-depth analysis of NCAA Basketball Conference data, identifying performance patterns and providing recommendations for increased efficiency.
🌟 I am enthusiastic about collaborating with fellow developers, exploring new technologies, and contributing to open-source projects. I believe in the power of data-driven decision-making and strive to create innovative solutions that make a positive impact.
