🏆 Kaggle-Works

A personal hub to organize every phase of your Kaggle journeys—from raw data to polished submissions.

---

📖 Overview

Kaggle-Works enforces a clean, reproducible workflow for tabular-data competitions:

• Competition-Submits/
  Store your CSV/JSON submissions and keep a history of top leaderboard runs.
• Zipped-Data/
  Untouched archive downloads (ZIP, TAR, etc.)—your “source-of-truth.”
• Extracted-Data/
  Unpacked & lightly cleaned CSV/Parquet files ready for analysis.
• My_Works/
  Jupyter notebooks, Python scripts, utility modules, write-ups, and visualizations.

Whether you’re chasing that gold medal or simply honing your data chops, this repo structure helps you stay organized and shareable.
