About Saikrishna K

I’m a results-driven Data Science professional with a strong academic and professional background in advanced analytics, machine learning, and cloud-based data solutions. I hold a Master’s in Business Analytics from Sacred Heart University and a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, combining technical depth with business insight. My passion for data stems from a curiosity to uncover patterns and build intelligent systems that drive measurable business impact. My journey began with hands-on academic projects, including a detailed analysis of SpaceX Falcon 9 launch data. I applied predictive modeling, SMOTE for class balancing, and visualization techniques to identify key factors influencing launch success and rocket reusability. Professionally, I’ve worked in both the banking and tech sectors. At Zions Bancorporation, I developed and deployed machine learning models—Logistic Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost, and SVM—to predict loan defaults and support risk analysis. I implemented time series forecasting using TensorFlow, optimized SQL queries, and leveraged AWS (Redshift, S3, Lambda) and PySpark to streamline data workflows. My contributions reduced processing times and enhanced model performance for real-time analytics. At Informative Web Solutions, I focused on data cleaning, A/B testing, and building scalable data pipelines using SQL Server, Python, and Databricks. I applied supervised and unsupervised learning techniques, visualized insights through Tableau and Seaborn, and delivered dashboards and reports that supported key business decisions. Across roles, I’ve developed strong expertise across the full data science lifecycle—from wrangling and exploration to model deployment and performance tuning. I’m proficient in Python, SQL, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, Tableau, Power BI, AWS, and PySpark. Looking ahead, I aim to contribute to innovative, data-driven teams where I can apply machine learning, big data, and NLP to solve real-world business problems. I’m passionate about building scalable, intelligent solutions that turn complex data into clear, actionable strategies and long-term value.
