About

I’m an Analytics Leader with 11+ years of experience across Business Analytics, Data Science, and Product Analytics, working with global teams at eBay and LatentView. My focus is on solving complex, high-impact problems through structured thinking, data exploration, and stakeholder alignment. I’ve led initiatives across multiple domains—building clustering models for customer segmentation, evaluating policy effectiveness with anomaly detection, enabling self-serve insights through Tableau dashboards, and supporting onboarding and retention strategies with behavioral analytics. Fluent in Python, SQL, Tableau, and PySpark, I combine technical skill with strong business context. My experience spans geographies (San Jose, Berlin, London, Bellevue, Mumbai) and functions (product, audit, marketing, strategy).
