Portfolio

Sales Forecasting for a U.S. Retail Chain Using ARIMA and Prophet in Python
Built monthly sales forecasts for a multi-location U.S. retail chain using Python. Delivered a comparison of ARIMA and Prophet models with actionable insights for inventory and staffing decisions.

Python-Based Forecasting of Daily Ride Demand for an Urban U.S. Transportation Startup
Used SARIMA and Prophet models in Python to forecast daily ride demand for a micromobility startup. The forecasts enabled real-time fleet allocation, cost control, and surge pricing decisions across urban zones.

U.S. Inflation Forecasting with Python Time Series Models: A Monthly Economic Outlook Tool
Developed a Python-based forecasting model using CPI, unemployment, and commodity trends to project U.S. inflation over 12 months. The tool enabled clients to simulate inflation risk and incorporate projections into financial planning and procurement decisions.

Customer Reviews
5 reviews for this Gig ★★★★☆ 4.1
my dataset was huge with missing values he handled it so well and the dashboard he gave was very easy to show my client
he did the forecast right but took one extra day than promised but result was worth it so not complaining much
super fast delivery and he explained all steps clearly i used it for my final year thesis got an A
good use of ARIMA and plots were neat but i had to ask for clarification on seasonality part
he used Prophet and cleaned up my messy retail data got the forecast ready within 2 days very reliable work
