• Project: Correction of weather forecast errors caused by the distance between prediction and observation points
• Goal: Improve day-ahead (24-hour) weather prediction accuracy for industrial sites (solar power, gas turbines), enabling better operational safety and combustion stability
• Model: Ensemble of XGBoost (capturing structured patterns via GBDT) + MLP (capturing nonlinear & latent patterns)
• Achievement: Grand Prize (산업통상자원부 장관상) for excellence in data utilization and industrial impact

• Project: FinCoach - AI-powered financial coaching service (Credit card delinquency prediction & spending pattern improvement recommendation service based on user MyData)
• Role: DA & DE
• Duration: 2025.08 ~ 2025.10 | Team of 6 (FE 2, BE 2, Data 2)

Key Achievements:

• Realistic MyData generation pipeline (DE): Combined AI HUB financial synthetic data + Statistics Korea household survey data, reflecting age-specific spending patterns with individual preference-based diversity using the principle "individuals behave uniquely, groups follow statistics"
• Credit card delinquency prediction model (ML): HistGradientBoostingClassifier-based model with 46 engineered features (13 personal info + 33 monthly derived variables including early/mid/late-month spending ratios, credit/debit ratios, 7 major category amounts/ratios, average transaction size, weekend/night spending ratios, HHI, entropy, 3-month rolling, EOM prediction, etc.)
• Spending habit improvement recommendation system: Hybrid CF + CBF approach using cosine similarity to extract top 5% similar users, analyzing 4 comparative perspectives: (1) current month vs similar users (2) 3-month average vs similar users (3) current month vs last month (4) current month vs personal 3-month average
• FastAPI-based prediction/recommendation API: Developed endpoints for delinquency prediction and spending comparison recommendations with real-time MySQL integration

Tech Stack: Python, scikit-learn, pandas, NumPy, FastAPI, pydantic, MySQL

Acheivement: Excellence Award (우수상) from Samsung Electronics
