What You'll Build
Real portfolio projects that showcase your skills to employers.
Customer Churn Prediction System
Build an end-to-end ML pipeline that predicts customer churn using real telecom data. Includes feature engineering, model comparison (logistic regression vs gradient boosting), hyperparameter tuning, and a FastAPI prediction endpoint.
Interview value:
Demonstrates the complete ML workflow from data cleaning to deployment — the most common data science interview scenario.
Movie Recommendation Engine
Design a hybrid recommendation system combining collaborative filtering and content-based methods. Evaluate using precision, recall, and NDCG metrics on the MovieLens dataset.
Interview value:
Recommendation systems are a classic ML interview topic that shows depth in both algorithms and evaluation methodology.
NLP Sentiment Analysis Pipeline
Build a text classification pipeline that processes product reviews, extracts features using TF-IDF and word embeddings, and classifies sentiment using both traditional ML and deep learning approaches.
Interview value:
NLP skills are in high demand and this project shows your ability to work with unstructured text data at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I get a job after completing this program?
We design the program to maximize your employability — real portfolio projects, interview preparation, and skills aligned with what hiring managers ask for. While we cannot guarantee placement, graduates who complete all labs and projects are well-prepared for data science and ML engineering interviews.
Do I need experience in machine learning or statistics?
No. We cover the necessary statistics and linear algebra within the program. You need basic Python skills (loops, functions, lists), but all ML concepts are taught from the ground up.
Do I need a powerful GPU for deep learning?
No. All deep learning labs are designed to run on CPU within Docker containers on standard laptops. For larger experiments, we guide you through using free GPU resources on Google Colab.
What datasets will I work with?
You will work with real-world datasets from domains like telecom (churn prediction), e-commerce (recommendations), finance (fraud detection), and healthcare. We use publicly available datasets from Kaggle and UCI ML Repository.
How is this different from a Coursera or Udemy data science course?
This is a live, instructor-led program with a 15-student batch size. You get real-time feedback, code reviews, and personalized guidance — not pre-recorded videos. The curriculum is designed by an architect who has hired data scientists at Fortune-500 companies.
What if I miss a live session?
All sessions are recorded and available on the student portal within 24 hours. The instructor and TAs are available on Slack for questions between sessions.
