A ProoV case study · educational project, not employment
Built an end-to-end used-car pricing analysis for VW and Audi listings: combined the datasets, explored price and mileage patterns, engineered predictive features, and compared Linear Regression against Random Forest using regression metrics. The work culminated in a business-facing recommendation that tied model accuracy to pricing risk and operational use for a Certified Pre-Owned team.
