1 Forecasting Expected Financial Returns

Practicum Project, College of Engineering at the University of Oklahoma

This practicum applied machine learning to forecast a key economic indicator for investment strategy. Using LSTM, Elastic Net, and Prophet, LSTM delivered the strongest results, cutting out-of-sample error by ~10%. The workflow used vintage data, time-based validation, and feature engineering to reflect real-world constraints.

2 Predicting Operational Delivery Times

College of Engineering at the University of Oklahoma

This project built models to improve food delivery time estimates by integrating traffic, accidents, and weather with historical data. The approach reduced variance in arrival predictions versus baseline methods, creating a more reliable framework to support delivery services with better planning accuracy and operational consistency.
