πΉ From Team Member to Team Lead: My Journey in SuperDataScience Collaborative Projects
Authored by Olivia Hinson , this post dives deep into her transformation from a participant to a Project Lead in our collaborative projectsβone of the most impactful learning experiences in SDS.
In her journey, Olivia led the Credit Card Default Prediction project, tackling real-world challenges like feature engineering, data imbalance, and model evaluation. She explored multiple ML models, implemented SMOTE for balancing data, and ultimately deployed a Streamlit app as the final product. But beyond technical learnings, she shares what it truly takes to lead a team, make critical decisions, and manage a data science project end-to-end.
π₯ This post is a must-read for anyone looking to take their data science journey beyond coursework and into real-world problem-solving and leadership.

This was insight full. Thanks Olivia for sharing your expΓ©riences.
I especially enjoyed the part where you described your transition from team mΓͺmber to team lead, how you felt, how it involves extra responsibilities that a team mΓͺmber don't have to worry about and staying open minded.
