    Bogotá Housing Price Prediction
    May 2025
    This project builds a machine learning XGBoost model to predict housing prices in Bogotá, Colombia, using data collected through web scraping from a real estate website. A total of 1,000 listings were scraped and processed, finding strong correlations between total area, stratum and price. In this project is developed a pipeline that takes raw data and gives price predictions.

    IndyCar Report Scraper
    Mar 2025
    🚀 Web Scraping of IndyCar Session Reports I developed a Python script to extract and organize data from IndyCar drivers' session reports. Using the pdfplumber library, the script processes PDF files, extracts relevant information, and structures it into Pandas DataFrames for analysis. 🔹 Automation: It can be executed from a Bash terminal or manually within a Python environment. 🔹 Application: Simplifies data collection and organization to analyze driver performance in each session. A project that combines web scraping, data processing, and automation. Link to Github repository: https://github.com/JohnQuintero08/indicar_scraping_pdf

    Predictive Modeling for Gold Recovery Optimization
    Feb 2025
    Developed a predictive model to estimate gold recovery in an extraction process, optimizing the analysis of operational data. Implemented data cleaning, segmentation, and feature extraction techniques to enhance model accuracy. Trained Linear Regression and Random Forest models, evaluated using sMAPE. Identified key patterns, such as plant shutdown periods, which improved data segmentation and boosted model performance. The Random Forest model achieved an sMAPE of 11.2%, demonstrating strong generalization capability. This analysis provided valuable insights into process efficiency and enabled the development of models that support data-driven decision-making to improve gold recovery. Tools: Python, pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, matplotlib

    Analysis of Deforestation Progress in the ChocĂł Department, Colombia
    Oct 2024
    This project analyzes deforestation data in the ChocĂł department, Colombia, between 2014 and 2021. Using Python, along with the pandas and matplotlib libraries, the data was processed and visually represented. Additionally, geopandas was used to extract the geographical boundaries of the area, obtained from the geojson.io website. The main objective was to represent the progression of deforestation reports and analyze the main causes and the most affected municipalities by this issue.
