Elakkiya Ponmudi

I’m Elakkiya, a passionate and driven individual with a strong foundation in microbiology and a growing expertise in data science. I hold a Masters degree in Microbiology from Annamalai University, where I specialized in plating and staining techniques and graduated with a CGPA of 8.5. My academic journey sparked a deep curiosity for research, culminating in an individual project exploring the impact of climate change on antibiotic resistance, where I discovered that microbes like E. coli and Klebsiella could survive even after heat shocks and antibiotic exposure.
I decided to shift into the IT field and enrolled in a Data Science course to pursue my interest in data driven problem solving.

Since then, I’ve built projects like DataSpark, focused on retail analytics for the global electronics industry, and Car Dheko, a used car price prediction model using machine learning, I’ve become proficient in tools and techniques such as Python, SQL, Power BI, data cleaning, EDA, model building
