So this consultant reporting to me is very smart and capable but the way he talks sounds very “cocky” and not very “sweet”. Client seems to like him a lot. What can I do to roll him off ?

Sounds like he's not the one who should be rolled off... how about you give him some coaching and direction instead?

Even to this day, I feel like I have crippling anxiety and imposter syndrome when speaking.

Recommendations?

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills.

I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
