• At Microsoft, I was working as Software development engineer II in Bing adCenter team. My roles and responsibilities were to design and code for adMad product, interact with customers to understand their requirement and mentor new hires for faster ramp up.
• The adMad (ad Monitoring and Diagnostics) platform is a data processing platform built for monitoring the paid-search data. It uses a dedicated Hadoop like Virtual Cluster called Cosmos for querying and processing data in an infinite loop. The data to process is defined via “slices” which are defining different views of the joined logs data. On top of the slices it is possible to run aggregations to create different measures.
• The basic adMad platform provides a scalable infrastructure for extracting and manipulating data while comparing extracted measures against expected averages (based on time-series and moving averages per KPI). In addition to the ETL process the adMad platform has a diagnostics UI that visually presents the various dimensions in a hierarchical manner that allows drill-down for root-cause analysis in addition to presenting the base KPIs with their expected trends. adMad project helped me understand the analytics domain, data mining and information retrieval systems.
