Ilan Barr

Welcome to My Portfolio

Welcome to my portfolio! I specialize in data science, analytics, and machine learning, with a talent for extracting insights from large datasets. My expertise lies in using Python and SQL for data analysis, and in building predictive models with TensorFlow and scikit-learn. I am also skilled in creating visualizations with Tableau and Dash to make data more accessible and impactful.

Driven by the power of big data, my goal is to develop data-driven strategies and solutions that are both technically sound and easily understandable, facilitating informed decision-making and strategic planning.
