SELECTED PROJECTS

Hotel Revenue Intelligence Dashboard With AI Query System

  • Built automated data pipeline with SQLite database storing hourly snapshots of hotel metrics, eliminating 2-3 hours of daily manual aggregation
  • Created dynamic KPI dashboard tracking 8+ critical metrics (occupancy rates, ADR, RevPAR, sold-out pressure) withcustomizable date ranges and time-scale views
  • Integrated Google's Gemini LLM with LangChain enabling plain-English queries (e.g., "Which month had highest arrivals?") that automatically generate SQL and visualize trends
  • Delivered production web-based dashboard reducing analysis time from hours to seconds while democratizing data access for non-technical staff

Golf Weather Planner with Real-Time Data

  • Developed a dynamic web application using the Tomorrow.io API to provide real-time weather insights tailored for golfers.
  • Enabled users to customize "golfable" parameters, including minimum temperature, maximum wind speed, and precipitation limits.
  • Designed a dashboard to display metrics such as temperature differences, wind variance, and precipitation likelihood, along with total golfable hours.
  • Created interactive visualizations using Matplotlib, highlighting optimal golfing windows throughout the day and the next four days.
  • Delivered an intuitive, data-driven solution to inform ideal golfing conditions, enhancing planning and decision-making for users.

Automated Wheel Running Data Analysis Tool

  • Developed a Python-based application with a user-friendly interface to analyze millions of data points from running wheel experiments logged in Excel files.
  • Automated identification of valid running bouts (≥3 revolutions/min) and categorized activity by light and dark phases, significantly reducing manual processing time.
  • Consolidated raw data into a summary sheet with detailed metrics, ensuring efficient data organization and accuracy.
  • Enabled users to generate phase-specific bar graph visualizations, providing actionable insights into exercise behavior and activity patterns.
  • Delivered a robust, scalable solution that streamlined workflow, accomplishing tasks in seconds that previously required hours.
