About Suraj Shinde

I am a Data Science graduate student at Arizona State University (GPA 4.0) with prior industry experience at Capgemini, where I worked on data analysis, ETL pipelines, SQL optimization, and business intelligence solutions in a client-facing environment.My professional background includes using Python, Pandas, and NumPy to process large datasets, build validation scripts, and improve data processing efficiency. At Capgemini, I regularly wrote and optimized SQL queries, supported SAP ABAP data extraction, and developed Tableau dashboards and automated reports to track KPIs and communicate insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.During my master’s program, I have focused on applying machine learning and statistical modeling to real-world problems. My projects include building large-scale time-series forecasting models for multi-store retail data and developing ML-based phishing website detection systems using Random Forest and XGBoost. I enjoy working end-to-end-from data cleaning and feature engineering to model evaluation and translating results into actionable business insights.In addition to my technical work, I serve as a Tutor with the Academic Support Network at ASU, where I support students in mathematics, physics, Python, SQL, and data science concepts. This role has strengthened my ability to explain complex ideas clearly, adapt to different learning styles, and communicate with empathy and professionalism.I am actively seeking Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, or Data Analyst internship and entry-level opportunities, where I can combine strong analytical skills, solid engineering foundations, and clear communication to drive data-driven decision-making.Skills: Python, SQL, Machine Learning, Data Analysis, Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, Tableau, Time Series Forecasting, Databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
