My Approach to Data Science

I believe in a structured, first-principles approach to solving problems with data. My methodology involves a rigorous process of data preprocessing, feature selection, and comparative analysis of multiple models to ensure the most accurate and robust outcomes. I focus on not just building models, but understanding their real-world implications and addressing challenges like class imbalance and missing data.
