Work Experience
Albertsons
Senior Data Scientist (Principal Platform Architect)
- Enterprise Platform: Architected enterprise experimentation infrastructure across In-Store, Pharmacy, Digital, and Private Brands, scaling testing capacity from 3 to 10+ experiments per week and supporting $200M+ in annual business decisions.
- Statistical Standardization: Cut experiment cycle times 40%, from 28 to 12 days, by operationalizing CUPED variance reduction across cross-functional business units.
- Bayesian Evaluation Layer: Designing a Bayesian evaluation layer (Monte Carlo simulation) on top of CUPED to enable live monitoring and early-stopping of high-impact experiments, further reducing cycle time.
- Data Democratization: Deployed a text-to-SQL RAG agent (LangChain, Claude) over a 50TB+ enterprise dataset, making embedded PMs self-serve and reducing post-experiment turnaround from days to minutes for partner teams.
- Algorithmic Optimization: Rebuilt the pre-split randomization algorithm from the ground up for 30x faster, balanced assignment by minimizing Mahalanobis distance, and quantified the imbalance-versus-power tradeoff so teams can see the statistical power lost at any level of covariate imbalance.
- Technical Leadership: Designed a human-in-the-loop pipeline where junior data scientists review AI-generated queries and feed corrections back into the RAG layer, improving first-pass validation accuracy 30% and accelerating onboarding.
Applied AI Research Lab
Principal Engineer & Product Architect
Founded an applied AI research and development lab to proactively build and stress-test emerging technologies and extract proven architectures to de-risk enterprise deployments.
- ClinicOS: Built an AI-powered healthcare operations SaaS live in 8 rural Indian clinics, with real-time consultation transcription, prescription generation, appointment workflows, and inventory management.
- QuizBeef: Launched an LLM-powered learning platform (700+ users) that stores questions in Open Knowledge Format (OKF) and generates personalized lessons on the fly, using semantic parsing and FAISS vector retrieval for grounded, adaptive question generation.
- mana-health: Architected a multi-agent wellness platform coordinating daily guidance, food analysis, and biomarker interpretation workflows (LangGraph, CrewAI, DSPy), enforcing typed outputs with PydanticAI and running LangSmith/Braintrust tracing and regression evals via a FastAPI and Next.js product surface.
Discover Financial Services
Senior Data Science Analyst
- Unlocked $114M in annualized volume: Disproved a decade-old employment-verification policy using XGBoost and propensity score matching, then designed an A/B test that drove a permanent policy change.
- Recovered $1.8M in loan approvals: Diagnosed iOS funnel defects in the Automated Loan Approval platform and partnered with Engineering and UX to restore conversion flow.
- Infrastructure Modernization: Migrated legacy SAS workflows to GCP and BigQuery, reducing infrastructure cost 12% and improving decision speed by 10+ hours per week.
Vodafone
Data Scientist
- Global Campaign Optimization: Generated $11.2M in incremental revenue for Vodafone Germany's 45M+ user base through customer segmentation and A/B-tested email personalization, increasing click-through rate 28%, from 1.4% to 1.8%.
- Customer Lifetime Value Expansion: Developed retention and pricing models that improved customer lifetime value 5% and informed retention-based product strategy.
- Production System Reliability: Reduced Priority-2 production incidents 60%+ by deploying Prophet-based anomaly monitoring across core models, saving approximately 20 engineering hours per week.
Kaizen
Data Science Engineering Intern
- Hybrid Predictive Modeling: Improved Toyota vehicle-sales forecast accuracy 8.5% using a hybrid Prophet and LSTM model; reduced two-factor-authentication false positives 13% through an AWS SageMaker anomaly-detection pipeline.
