Case Study Template: From Problem to Production
A short write‑up structure I follow: problem framing → data → baseline → experiments → results → what I’d improve next.
About
I’m a Data Science graduate with 6+ years of analytics experience in logistics, specializing in turning raw data into actionable insights. I combine business context with hands-on skills in Python, SQL, and BI to solve real problems. Recently, I built a Microsoft Bookings–based scheduling tool for Austin-area logistics that streamlined carrier pickups and reduced manual work.
