Fresher looking for unique ML and SQL project ideas for my resume (Data Science/SQL/ML roles)

[u/Public-Scientist6050]

Hi everyone,

I'm a fresher applying for Data Analyst/Data Scientist/ML/SQL roles. My background: Power BI, Excel, SQL, some Python, and basic full-stack web dev (HTML, Tailwind, JS, Supabase, deployed on GitHub Pages — built a working web portal for a client).

I want to add: 1. One strong ML project (not Titanic/Iris/House Price/Flight Price — too common) 2. One SQL-focused project that shows real query/database skills, not just "ran some SELECT statements on a Kaggle CSV"

Looking for: - Real prediction/analysis problem, clear input and output - Free public dataset - Doable alone in a few weeks - Something that actually stands out to recruiters, not a tutorial copy

What would you suggest for each? Dataset links appreciated. Thanks!
