Experience
My professional journey in data science and AI engineering.
AI Engineer
Geolabe (NASA-partnered project) | May 2024 – Current
- • Built an end-to-end geospatial data engineering pipeline using Python, BigQuery, and Rasterio for input to the Methane Detection AI project. This is an on-scratch implementation of Google Earth Engine data retrieval process to improve scalability.
- • Developing the project in partnership with NASA, this project advances methane monitoring at a scale and 1/10th of the cost of the current state-of-the-art techniques
- • The project won the NASA Entrepreneurs Challenge, Google for Startups Accelerator, and Activate Fellowship
Data Scientist & Analytics Consultant
Citizens Bank | Sep 2024 – Current
- • Developed a predictive model (Marketing Mix Model) to analyze the impact of various marketing channels and improve sales for individual business products
- • Incorporated the time-lagged impact of each marketing channel (Adstock) and leveraged advanced statistical techniques (Mixed Models), integrating seasonality, holiday effects, and macroeconomic variables
Technical Project Manager
Duke Health (Data +) | May 2024 – Jul 2024
- • Led a project to boost the response rate of patient-entered questionnaires by 43% for Duke Health, using data analytics to pinpoint response time delays and optimize follow-up strategies, resulting in improved patient engagement
Sr. Production Data Analyst
Reliance Industries Limited | Jul 2019 – Jul 2023
- • Optimized error rates in flow meters (used to measure oil production) by 15% using regression modeling. Utilized Python for modeling and SQL for ETL operations
- • Improved production forecasting efficiency from 85% to 99%, thus making precise predictions
- • Saved ~ USD 500,000 in future penalties with these accurate predictions, received special recognition for project
- • Supported the commissioning of a $5 billion oil & gas project as Operations Analytics Lead, managing a team of 12 people
Projects
