Hi, I'm Ridwan Yusuf!
Mentee at Analytics Extra Mentorship
I have a background in Computer Science and experience as a Subject Matter Expert, creating educational content for high school and college students in Mathematics and Computer & Technology. I’m now transitioning into Data Science, building skills in Python, SQL, Power BI, Git, and Machine Learning through courses at WorldQuant University and ALX Africa. I’m passionate about using data to solve problems and create value. I’ve worked on projects like predicting student performance and analyzing factors affecting education outcomes. I’m eager to grow my skills, contribute to meaningful projects, and explore new opportunities in data science.
Experience
Analytics Extra Mentorship
Mentee
August 2024 - Present
- Participated in the Analytics Extra Mentorship Program, contributing to the Atlanta Crime Data Analysis Report.
- Collaborated with the team to source and clean the dataset, ensuring data quality and integrity.
- Designed and presented an interactive Power BI dashboard that visualized crime trends over five years, forecasted future crime rates, and delivered actionable insights for strategic decision-making.
- Published the report on Power BI Service, enabling real-time access and interactive analysis for team members and stakeholders.
Stutern
Hackathon Participant
December 2023
In Stutern hackathon, I acted as the team's data scientist that built a Precision Farming for Best Product Results with Data project,
- Built a machine learning model that predicts the optimal time for planting and harvesting crops. This model aimed to improve farming efficiency and yield by leveraging data insights.
- Hosted the model locally using JupyterDash, enabling interactive visualizations and easy access for the team to test and refine the model’s predictions.
Hamoye
Data Science Intern
November 2022 - February 2023
As a data science intern at Hamoye, I worked on two key projects: Project 1: Hospital Inpatient Discharges – Predicting Length of Stay
- Acted as the query analyst for the team, responsible for data extraction and cleaning.
- Treated null values, removed duplicates, and dropped redundant columns to ensure data quality.
- Conducted Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to uncover patterns within the dataset and identify key factors influencing the length of stay.
Project 2: Customer Personality Analysis
- Created detailed project documentation and presentation slides for team use.
- Built a K-Means clustering algorithm to determine the optimal number of clusters for customer segmentation.
- Performed EDA to explore the dataset, identify patterns, and inform the development of the clustering model.
