Goutam Terdal

I am a detail-oriented Machine Learning Engineer with hands-on experience preparing and processing structured and unstructured datasets to power forecasting, recommendation systems, and optimization models.

At Coastal Cove Technologies I delivered high-quality annotated datasets for sentiment and emotion analysis, automated annotation/ETL workflows with Python and SQL, and improved dataset reliability through validation and QA processes.

My project work includes building NLP pipelines and machine learning-based sentiment classifiers using NLTK and scikit-learn, applying TF-IDF, hyperparameter tuning, and cross-validation to improve prediction accuracy.

I combine a strong foundation in statistics and data processing with practical experience in audio/video analytics, generative AI, and software development practices to deploy reliable ML solutions.
