  • Projects I worked on:
  • A system to predict the duration and discount to be offered for different sessions of the clearance sale to maximise the revenue. Implemented online learning for regular recalibration of markdown strategy. Got Walmart Impact Award for this.
  • A system to predict the space to be allocated to different items in a retail store in order to maximise the revenue.

Dec 2018Jul 2021 · 2 yrs 7 mos

  • Led a team of 5 to work on the following projects:
  • Designed an algorithm on top of word2vec and CNN to predict whether a given address is a residential location or a commercial one.
  • Built a system to divide a given set of shipments into a given number of routes. System would learn the affinity and ground constraints from the historic data and use them while minimizing the total distance travelled in the routes.
  • Built a system to map the shipments to an appropriate dispatch center under the ground constraints which are learnt from the historic data.

  • Key Projects:
  • Built a system to predict the probability that a customer is going to return the shipment being delivered to him. Modelled a classifier on top of spark.
  • Designed an algorithm to build singular & non-overlapping pin-code polygons from the noisy coordinates of the shipments belonging to the pin-codes in India
  • Built a system to predict whether 2 addresses represent the same geographic location
  • Implemented a graphical model to predict the geocode for an address given the historic data of addresses and corresponding coordinates.
