Telecom Customer Churn Prediction

End-to-end churn modeling on a 200K-row telecom dataset — multiple ML models benchmarked to enable targeted retention offers, with automated reporting workflows.

Conversion funnel · retail analytics
Computer Vision · Analytics Platform

Store Intelligence System

CCTV-to-conversion retail intelligence: five camera feeds fused with POS data to produce footfall counts, a monotonic conversion funnel, dwell analytics and explainable anomalies — served via FastAPI with a live dashboard.

Model comparison · ANN vs RNN vs LSTM
Deep Learning · Benchmarking

Bank Churn Prediction with Deep Learning

Customer churn prediction for banking, benchmarking three deep learning architectures — ANN, standard RNN and LSTM — to compare how each captures patterns in customer behavior.

Behavioural clusters · 6 segments
Unsupervised ML · Analytics

Customer Segmentation Model

Six behavioural segments recovered from an unlabelled subscriber base with K-Means and a Gaussian Mixture Model, a supervised churn classifier layered on top, and an interactive dashboard for tuning the decision threshold.

Dual-engine RAG · retrieval trace
GenAI · Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Glasshouse — A RAG Pipeline You Can See Through

Two answer engines over one shared retrieval trace: an extractive engine that quotes sources verbatim and cannot hallucinate, beside a generative engine that writes — so the difference is attributable to answering alone.
