Available for Co-op · Winter/Summer

Hi, I'm Tarundeep Arora.
I build full-stack products and dig into data.

Data Science student at Simon Fraser University, building end-to-end applications with React, Next.js, FastAPI, and Python — from privacy-first mobile-web apps to sensor-driven hardware systems.

01 About

I'm a Data Science undergrad at Simon Fraser University (2023–2028), based in the Vancouver area. I like building things end-to-end — backend APIs, databases, and the frontends that sit on top of them — and I'm just as comfortable soldering sensors to a breadboard as I am designing a REST API. Recent work spans encrypted local-first apps, containerized services with PostgreSQL, and a chess engine with a custom AI opponent. I'm currently looking for a co-op where I can apply that range on a real team.

Shrinkflation in Canadian Groceries

CMPT 353

Course Project · Python, Pandas, SciPy, scikit-learn

A statistical analysis of whether package sizes shrank while prices held or rose across major Canadian grocery chains, benchmarked against StatCan's official food CPI.

  • Cleaned and joined ~70M scraped price observations (Project Hammer) with StatCan CPI data
  • Built a custom price index and compared it against official inflation figures
  • Ran significance testing and regression to detect shrinkflation candidates by vendor

Reddit Corpus Analysis

CMPT 353

Course Project · PySpark, Pandas, scikit-learn

Large-scale analysis of Reddit submission data on the SFU Hadoop cluster, studying what drives post success and whether regional subreddits scale with real-world population.

  • PySpark extraction pipeline over Hive-partitioned submission/comment data on HDFS
  • Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, and a gradient-boosted classifier with per-category stratification
  • Power-law fit of subreddit activity against 2021 census population data
