I love to dig into customer problems and solve them with data. I create, scale and optimize data centric solutions that matter. To accomplish this, I focus on delivering key outcomes, building amazing teams and quickly adapting to new learning. I landed my first data science role in a rather unusual way. I was just helping out in arranging for a pre-placement presentation at my undergraduate college’s training and placement department, when I decided to stick around to listen to the actual presentation. The presentation introduced me to the hitherto unknown world of data science. I felt it was extremely interesting and immediately applied and got the role after clearing multiple interview rounds the next day. My personal and professional experiences across the past 12 years have taught me the following about myself: 1. I put customer at the center of every thing that I do 2. My gut instinct is good but I seek data for my decisions 3. I love to win, but helping the team win gives me greater joy 4. I can speak both Tech and Exec My 2 extremely proud professional achievements are: 1. 2021 American Express Chairman's Award Winner: I won the 2021 Chairman's award for leading a team of data scientists to develop an automated lapse detection system (using natural language processing based as well as rules based algorithms), which detects in real-time, potential cases of regulatory and procedural lapses made by customer care representative, in order to rectify them before they snowball into major customer or regulatory harm for the organization. 2. Designing Global Event Level Campaign[2014]: I used purchasing behavior data to identify the target audience of an online football fan campaign [designed for the biggest beer manufacturer in exclusivity with a leading retailer] which was executed leading up to 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Post campaign execution, I performed a data driven measurement of the impact of the campaign and the campaign resulted in brand growth (2%) for the manufacturer and beer category growth(10%) for the retailer. The success of the campaign meant that the manufacturer and retailer clients re-ran the campaign leading up to the Rio Olympics in 2016. I love to travel and have set myself a “40 Before 40” goal[visit 40 countries before turning 40] Till date, I have been to the following countries: Netherlands|France|Spain|Maldives|Singapore|Hungary|Slovakia|CzechRepublic|Germany|Austria|Finland|UAE Reach out if you want to talk about data science, creating data centric products, travelling or football.
