This summer, I have the privilege of interning at Capital One, a testament to my dedication and competence. During my tenure at FactSet, I gained invaluable expertise in financial modeling, risk assessment, and demand forecasting. Furthermore, my time at Rockwell Automation allowed me to sharpen my proficiency in leveraging sophisticated tools like Power BI and PowerPoint to extract crucial insights from vast datasets and compellingly present them to stakeholders. Building upon these experiences, my current role at Capital One revolves around a fascinating project aimed at maximizing reinstatement rates. By meticulously analyzing and segmenting customers who have faced vehicle repossession, I am crafting tailored payment plans to ensure swift recovery. Employing cutting-edge technologies such as Snowflake, SQL, and Python, I meticulously collect and refine the requisite data. My adeptness in decision trees, decision forests, and logistic regressions enables me to pinpoint key drivers that impact reinstatement rates. Furthermore, I am actively developing a rudimentary Gradient Boosting Machine to construct a powerful predictive model for enhanced decision-making. Beyond academia and professional accomplishments, I remain deeply committed to expanding my expertise in data analytics, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence, I avidly engage with renowned online platforms like Coursera and LinkedIn Learning, along with university-sponsored courses, to stay at the forefront of emerging trends. I am presently seeking a full-time employment opportunity following my graduation from University in May of 2024, that aligns with my passion for driving operational excellence, harnessing data analytics, and embracing machine learning.
