About

I am a rising junior studying in Pennsylvania State University, majoring in Data Science. I have been coding for almost 3-4 years now, but my interest in the area piqued in my second semester, when I explored the subject a bit more by learning more about Deep Learning (something that literally everyone around me were talking about!). I am driven to learn more about this field, and am excited to think about the possibilities that open up as I delve further into this subject.

Skills

Projects

Analysing the Top 10 Educational YouTube Channels

YouTube's recommendation algorithm is very popular but the way it actually works is largely shrouded in mystery. Various misconceptions surround the elements contributing to a video's popularity. I would like to analyse and verify different common "myths" about what makes a video do well.

Analysing Data Science Books

As a student studying Data Science, I am always hunting for helpful literature in the domain. With the crazy amount of books in the market, it can get quite overwhelming and confusing when choosing a book. Therefore, in this project I will explore the statistics of Data Science books on Amazon.
