Feature Store Engineering:
Engineered and managed a centralized feature store to streamline the creation, storage, and reuse of high-quality features for machine learning models. This initiative accelerated model development, ensured feature consistency between training and serving, and improved overall ML workflow efficiency.
Cost Optimisation:
Led data infrastructure and pipeline optimisation initiatives that resulted in over $1 million in annual cost savings through efficient resource management, cloud platform tuning, and architectural improvements.
Stakeholder Management:
Collaborated closely with engineering, analytics, and business teams, driving adoption of new data platforms and processes. Consistently delivered solutions aligned with business goals, increasing cross-team productivity and data-driven decision-making.
