Machine Learning Engineer – IT Incident Priority Prediction
DataMites™ • Freelance
Mar 2026 - Sep 2026 • 6 mos
Built an end-to-end machine learning solution to predict high-priority IT incidents for a mid-sized IT service management (ITSM) operation handling 22,000–25,000 monthly tickets. - Extracted and cleaned a 46,606-record dataset from MySQL, resolving data corruption issues (locale-based number formatting) and inconsistent categorical encodings via regex-based parsing. - Conducted exploratory data analysis to uncover class imbalance (98.5% vs 1.5%), data leakage risks, and time-based collection gaps. - Engineered features from timestamps and high-cardinality categorical fields while preventing leakage from derived target variables. - Trained and compared 4 classification algorithms (Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, XGBoost), tuning for F1-score to balance precision/recall trade-offs under severe class imbalance. - Delivered a final XGBoost model achieving 0.926 ROC-AUC and 65% recall on high-priority incidents, with feature-importance analysis identifying banking devices and core infrastructure as leading risk categories — translated into actionable business recommendations.
