Built an end-to-end used-car pricing workflow for VW and Audi listings: combined the datasets, explored price and mileage patterns, engineered age-based features, encoded categorical variables, and compared Linear Regression with Random Forest using R², MAE, and RMSE. The final business summary connected model accuracy to pricing decisions and recommended adoption in a CPO pricing pipeline.

What stood out6
- Created the key predictive features `car_age` and `mileage_per_year` and used them in the modeling workflow.
- Compared Linear Regression against Random Forest using multiple metrics, not just a single score.
- Translated model performance into a pricing recommendation for the CPO team with an explicit financial framing.
- Leakage-Free Feature Engineering
- Comparative Model Evaluation
- Business-Oriented Interpretation
