Portfolio / 2026

SiddharthThakar

I build the unglamorous machinery behind analytics — extraction pipelines, forecasting models and dashboards people actually open. Most recently I automated finance operations at Fintale Consultancy. This September I start the Master of Data Science at the University of Guelph.

Live · autods.fintale.io

AutoDS — autonomous data scientist

A full-stack AutoML application that takes a raw table or a time series and returns a finished analysis: exploratory profiling, preprocessing, model training, diagnostics, explainability, a written report, and an inference endpoint. Built so an analyst can reach a defensible model without hand-writing the same forty notebook cells again.

Stack
Python, Streamlit, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker
Covers
Tabular ML and time-series forecasting
Role
Design, build and deployment
Power BI · PostgreSQL

Canada Labour & Affordability Intelligence

An analytics platform that joins Job Bank, Statistics Canada and CMHC data so you can compare Canadian cities on the things that decide where you move: which occupations are hiring, what they pay, what rent does to that wage, and where the trend is heading. Includes forecasts and automated data-quality checks that flag a source before it quietly breaks a report.

Stack
Power BI, DAX, PostgreSQL, Python
Sources
Job Bank, Statistics Canada, CMHC
Role
Data model, ETL, report design
Local-first RAG

Ask a PDF, get a cited answer

A retrieval-augmented question answering system for documents that runs entirely on your own machine — Ollama embeddings, ChromaDB retrieval, a re-ranking pass to cut weak matches, and Llama 3.2:3b for generation. No document ever leaves the laptop, which is the point.

Stack
Python, Streamlit, Ollama, ChromaDB, Llama 3.2:3b

Retrieval quality and re-ranking

Where I've worked

2024 — 2026

May 2025 — Jul 2026

Fintale Consultancy

Data Analyst, Process Automation · Vadodara

Built the finance team's automation layer: Power BI and Python dashboards, bank-statement extractors, invoice generators, and serverless AWS bots on Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, API Gateway and CloudWatch. Work that used to take an afternoon now finishes while you make coffee — roughly 98% less manual time on the routine workflows.

Jan 2025 — Apr 2025

Inbox Infotech

Data Science Intern · Vadodara

Shipped models against live product problems: a dynamic pricing engine and sentiment analysis for a travel app, customer segmentation for a retail platform to target campaigns properly, and a location-based recommender to lift engagement.

Jul 2024 — Sep 2024

TechXi

Machine Learning Intern · Vadodara

Built "Chat with PDFs" and "Chat with Websites" alongside several other NLP applications, plus audio source separation with Librosa and water-body detection from satellite imagery.

Jun 2024 — Jul 2024

Barodacoders

Frontend Intern · Vadodara

Developed Gyansodho, an education platform where students look up institutes and exam circulars. Focused on the interface and on making it hold up on a phone.

Financial Analytics with Artificial Neural Networks: Predicting Loan Repayment

A neural network that estimates whether a borrower will repay, written up as a working example of applied machine learning in credit analytics — how the model was framed, trained and read.
