Research Projects
Mapping Bitcoin Price Jumps to Real-World Events
Analyzed more than 1.5 million intraday Bitcoin price points (5-minute intervals from 2014 to 2025) using Python modeling and data-sorting scripts to detect extreme price jumps. After refining and validating the dataset, 19 verified jump days emerged, each matching a real-world market shock such as regulatory actions, exchange security issues, or major macroeconomic announcements. The workflow connected quantitative modeling with real-world interpretation, producing a clear view of how data patterns reflect market behavior and potential decision signals.
Modeling Startup Success Factors in Accessing Loans
Worked with data from more than 1,900 technology-based startups to uncover what separates successful funding applicants from those rejected by a national innovation program. Cleaned and structured over 5,000 loan records using advanced Excel sorting and filtering tools, then analyzed patterns in performance, team composition, and innovation level to see which traits made funding more likely. The results revealed that startups combining strong technical focus with lean, well-organized teams achieved the highest approval rates, while over-expansion and inconsistent financials often reduced their chances. The project demonstrates a data-driven approach to entrepreneurship, showing how analytical thinking can translate raw data into insights about real-world startup financing.
