During two months contributing to the jdpipping/summer-lab repository, Abalajee developed a cross-sport analytics suite and an end-to-end machine learning pipeline. He built Rita Labs, a collection of R scripts for statistical modeling, data loading, and visualization across basketball, football, and baseball, enabling reproducible analytics for educators and analysts. His work included implementing logistic regression, splines, and random forests for sports analytics, as well as park-adjusted baseball run models. In July, he delivered a Spotify user-song prediction pipeline using R and XGBoost, covering data preparation, clustering, and feature engineering. The work demonstrated depth in R programming and statistical analysis.
