Andrew Yian Xu

As an upcoming graduate from the Electrical Engineering program at UBC, I am a car enthusiast who combines reliability and a profound passion for the automotive industry with a natural flair for communication. My experience in pre-owned car sales has endowed me with a comprehensive understanding of various car brands and models, along with the ability to form unique insights. Eager to blend my academic background in technology with my practical experience, I aim to leverage innovative tech-driven approaches to significantly enhance my sales capabilities, driving success in dynamic, customer-focused environments.

My project involves a meticulous process of gathering data every three days from the Auto Trader website, specifically focusing on vehicles for sale in the British Columbia region. This data is then carefully compiled and integrated into a sophisticated model designed to predict the pricing trends of various car models. The core objective of this project is to gain a profound understanding of the market from a consumer's perspective, enabling informed decisions based on comprehensive, data-driven insights into how vehicle prices are evolving over time. This approach not only sharpens my analytical skills but also enhances my ability to foresee and adapt to market dynamics, ensuring a consumer-centric approach in the automotive industry.
