Improved e-learning/online course experience for students, and teaching experience for professors of the USF IMSE department using Lean Six Sigma methodologies, along the lines of DMAIC
•  Collected data through surveys, identified root causes of problems using Cause & Effect (Fishbone) analysis and 5 Whys 
•  Reduced technical difficulties with improved troubleshooting to minimize canceled classes – gained 15% of classes overall
•  Eliminated human error and reduced lecture setup time by automating the setup using Selenium – reduced 70% time-waste 
•  Proposed better input devices for classes like WaCom and Catchbox for better interaction, and Andon Cord like feature to report a problem real-time to the IT support to fix the issue for online students
E-Learning Process Improvement Project
•	Participated in a competition with a group of three, where we applied key business aspects such as Marketing, Operations, Finance and Manufacturing in a business simulation game (Mogul CEO) and placed 2nd out of 14 teams
•	Analyzed trends of sales quarterly using forecasting methods and achieved forecasting efficiency of 84%
Capstone Project
•	Detected fake electronic transactions on a real dataset consisting of 492 frauds in a total of 284,807 observations using R Studio programming and achieved a model accuracy of 99.97%
Data Analysis (Clustering & Time Series Analysis)
Built a 600cc racing car with a team of three, with my focus on aerodynamics. Developed front and rear wings of the car from NACA airfoils, aimed to generate high downforce using 3D design and analysis tools like SolidWorks and XFLR5
