Built an end-to-end used-car pricing workflow for VW and Audi listings: combined the datasets, explored price and mileage patterns, engineered predictive features, and trained both Linear Regression and Random Forest models. The work culminated in a business summary that translated model results into a practical recommendation for a Certified Pre-Owned purchasing dashboard.
