Customer Segmentation App

Customer Segmentation App is a machine learning and data science project I developed using Python and Streamlit to turn CRM data into actionable business insights. The app enables users to upload CSV or Excel datasets, intelligently map custom column names, and perform RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) analysis to better understand customer behavior. Using KMeans clustering, the tool segments customers based on purchase patterns and presents results through intuitive dashboards and interactive visualizations. Designed with flexibility and usability in mind, it features encoding detection, dynamic cluster sizing, country-based filtering, and exportable summaries. This project reflects my passion for applying machine learning and data science techniques to real-world problems, bridging the gap between technical analysis and decision-making.

Josh in a Dream

Josh in a Dream is a third-person platformer game developed in Unreal Engine 5.5. Set in a surreal dreamscape, players control Josh as he explores a single, intricately designed level filled with enemies, traps, and environmental challenges. The main objective is to find two hidden keys placed in different sections of the map, unlock two doors, and reach the gem at the end of the level. Gameplay features include moving platforms, jump stations for enhanced traversal, combat with enemies, health pickups, and strategically placed checkpoints that allow players to respawn and continue their journey. Josh's character model was sourced from Mixamo and enhanced with custom animation blueprints for smooth movement and interaction. Built using UE5.5's Nanite and Lumen technologies, the game delivers high-quality visuals, responsive gameplay, and immersive lighting—all powered through Blueprint scripting.
