• Working in Bing Search Engine Team.
• 1. Design and development of a Distributed, Cloud based scalable Workflow Scheduling and Execution Platform. It is used to submit, monitor and view results of complex workflow pipelines at a single dashboard and take actions.
• 2. Developed and owns multiple pipelines on the above platform for qualifying a web ranker and shipping to production. These include qualifying rankers based on different Relevance Tests (NDCG, XDCG, Competitor NDCG, Side By Side, Adult Content, Language Mismatch, Country Mismatch, Spurious and Spam tests), Ranker Computation Performance Tests (Memory and Latency), etc. Developed and owned all the Relevance Metrics computation. Reduced Vendor Judgment Bandwidth wastage by adding heuristics. Automated qualification of Rankers, with scale of hundreds of rankers and markets. Reduced Manual Intervention effort for monitoring of Qualification by more than 75%. Reduced Qualification time, thereby reducing time to Release to Production/Web.
