Data Analytics Projects

Predictive Modeling for Engagement:

  • Developed predictive models using techniques such as logistic regression, random forests, and gradient boosting to forecast user engagement levels and predict churn risk with an accuracy of 85%, resulting in a 10% reduction in customer attrition over six months
  • Leveraged historical user data to anticipate future engagement trends and proactively intervene to prevent attrition.
  • Identify the target audience based on the demographic or behavioral characteristics of subscribers to focus on (e.g., past engagement patterns,purchase mode,trial users to subscribed users and so) and understand how increasing engagement can benefit the healthcare subscription service and plans.

Recommendation Systems:

  • Designed and implemented a collaborative filtering recommendation system, increasing click-through rates on the company website by 15%.
  • Successfully deployed a recommendation system within the subscription platform, providing personalized healthcare guidance tailored to users' purchase preferences.
  • Achieved a 35% increase in user engagement, measured by interaction rates with recommended healthcare content and product offerings.
  • Improved subscriber retention by 25% through the delivery of targeted recommendations aligned with users' past purchase behavior.
  • Increased subscription plan adoption and retention rates through the delivery of value-added recommendations aligned with users' healthcare needs and purchase behaviors.

Website Page Visits Analysis for User Engagement Optimization

  • Conducted in-depth analysis of page visit data to understand user behavior, identify patterns, and optimize website content and layout for enhanced user engagement.
  • Identified high-traffic pages and popular content topics based on page visit frequency and duration.
  • Implemented personalized content recommendations based on user browsing history and interests, resulting in a 15% increase in click-through rates.
  • Utilized web analytics tools such as Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics to collect and analyze page visit data.

Sentiment Analysis:

  • Conducted sentiment analysis on customer feedback using machine learning models such as VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary and Sentiment Reasoner) and supervised learning classifiers.
  • Classified customer sentiments as positive, negative, or neutral to gauge overall customer satisfaction and identify areas of improvement.

Feedback Analysis and Iterative Improvement:

  • Analyzed user feedback, surveys, and support tickets to identify pain points and areas for enhancement in the platform's user experience.
