CovidVaxTracker
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a global effort to develop and distribute vaccines to protect people against the virus. This visualization provides a comprehensive overview of the vaccination progress across the world by tracking the percentage of the population vaccinated in each country, along with other relevant data such as the number of doses administered, vaccine types, and the timeline of the vaccination campaign. This powerful visualization allows viewers to understand the global impact of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout and helps to identify the countries that are leading the way in vaccinating their populations. By presenting this data in an accessible and easy-to-understand format, this visualization can help to inform and inspire the public to take action and support the ongoing efforts to end the pandemic.

InstaCart Online Grocery Market Basket Analysis
The modern world of e-commerce has revolutionized the way consumers shop for everyday essentials. With the increasing reliance on online platforms for grocery shopping, understanding customer preferences, purchasing patterns, and product associations has become essential for both retailers and data scientists.
By undertaking this project, I aim to extract valuable insights from the dataset that can benefit both Instacart as a service provider and consumers looking for a more convenient shopping experience. Through data-driven analysis, we can uncover hidden patterns, identify trends, and develop data-driven strategies for optimizing the shopping journey.
