Built an end-to-end gas-turbine TEY predictor using leakage-free sensor inputs and a time-based validation split. Compared a LinearRegression baseline against a RandomForest model, reported held-out MAE/RMSE/R2, and documented practical limits, drift monitoring, and intended use in a concise model card.

What stood out6
- Correctly excluded CO and NOx as downstream emissions to avoid leakage
- Used a genuine earlier-train / later-test split instead of random shuffling
- Reported held-out MAE, RMSE, and R2 and read the residual/drift implications
- Explained the model in manager-friendly language with a concrete failure mode
- Leakage-Free Feature Selection
- Time-Based Holdout Evaluation
