During a two-month period, Nikhil Shah developed foundational analytics and visualization features for the Prof-Drake-UMD/INST-760-SUMMER25 repository. He established the project’s directory structure and ingested datasets in CSV format, enabling data analysis and visualization workflows using Python, Pandas, and Seaborn. His work included building a ramen ratings visualization suite and creating educational disparity analytics by processing a 1001-row education inequality dataset. Nikhil implemented data filtering, managed missing values, and exported visualizations as PNGs, supporting reproducible and shareable insights. The engineering focused on data readiness, maintainable code, and clear commit traceability, laying groundwork for scalable analytics without major bug fixes.
