Aspiring data scientist with expertise in machine learning and analytics.
Sri LankaWhat I'm looking for
I am currently pursuing a BSc (Honors) in Data Science at the University of Plymouth, where I am honing my skills in data analytics and machine learning. My passion for technology and data-driven decision-making has led me to work on several impactful projects, including a machine learning-powered price prediction system for Sri Lanka's rice economy. This project involved building a cloud-based solution using Python, Apache Spark, and AWS, showcasing my ability to leverage advanced technologies for real-world applications.
In addition to my technical skills, I have developed a strong foundation in natural language processing, having created an NLP pipeline for sentiment analysis of Facebook comments. My projects also include a stroke prediction system that utilizes statistical analysis and machine learning models to assess healthcare risks. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to continuous learning and improvement, which I believe are essential in the ever-evolving field of data science.
