Work Experience

ML Engineer at Capital One Financial
January 1, 2025 - Present
Built production data pipelines using Python, SQL, and Spark to support ML training and inference, increasing usable model data availability by 28% across customer behavior and risk analytics workflows. Reduced data-related model failures by 35% by adding validation rules, schema checks, and freshness monitoring before datasets reached training and scoring stages. Improved feature generation performance by 22% through Spark optimization and efficient SQL joins on terabyte-scale cloud datasets. Converted one-off model inputs into reusable feature datasets, enabling multiple data science teams to run experiments faster with consistent data definitions. Decreased incident resolution time by 30% by adding monitoring signals and clear failure diagnostics for ML-critical pipelines.
Data Scientist, Product & Experimentation Analytics at Accenture
August 1, 2021 - July 1, 2023
Analyzed 50M+ weekly transaction records using advanced SQL and PySpark to support experimentation, forecasting, and fraud analysis used in pricing and risk decisions. Designed and evaluated A/B and multivariate experiments with proper power analysis and bias controls, contributing to 20%+ improvements in conversion and retention. Identified funnel drop-offs and cohort behavior patterns, leading to product and incentive changes that improved ROI by 15–22% within measured release cycles. Defined engagement and activation metrics where none existed, enabling consistent tracking of DAU, WAU, and MAU across product teams. Shortened decision turnaround by 25% by translating statistical findings into clear, actionable recommendations for product and engineering stakeholders.
Data Science Intern at Kaashiv Infotech
March 1, 2020 - August 1, 2020
Cleaned and structured 30K+ customer records using SQL, improving dataset reliability for churn and fraud analysis. Built a Python-based churn prediction model achieving ~85% accuracy, identifying behavioral risk indicators used in retention analysis. Reduced manual analysis effort by 60% by developing a lightweight dashboard to visualize churn trends and customer segments.
