    Made with:

  • Requests_Python
  • BeautifulSoup

Python application for SEO parameter analysis based on Google Search results. Scrapes top-ranked websites, extracts SEO factors (page speed, mobile-friendliness, titles, keywords, structured data), and queries Google APIs. Applies a Gradient Boosting Classifier to determine each factor's importance on rankings. Multithreaded architecture for faster URL processing. Generates detailed Excel reports with actionable recommendations.

BreatheBetter

  • Requests_Python

Built a React-based air quality dashboard featuring a 3D hexagon heatmap with Deck.gl and Mapbox. Visualized pollution data geographically, handled data preprocessing, and designed interactive frontend visualizations.

Big-Foot Sightings

    Made with:

Full Big Data workflow using real-world Bigfoot sighting reports. Built Python applications to extract, clean, and preprocess unstructured sighting data. Applied data cleaning techniques (missing value handling, normalization, deduplication) to prepare the dataset for analysis. Designed interactive charts to uncover geographic hotspots, yearly trends, and common themes in Bigfoot sightings.

Foody – Restaurant Management Platform
