  • Performed extensive analysis on performance of coupon and provided recommendations to CEO about targeting students with coupons in future.
  • Produced and managed content health analysis which helped course developers get useful insights about performance and difficulty of each concept in a course.
  • Worked extensively on data pipelines to aggregate data from different sources.
Sr. Data Scientist, 08/2015 to 07/2016
Ebay Inc – San Jose, CA
  • Developed and implemented a modeling methodology that modifies random forest for uplift modeling to optimally picks users who will purchase due to incentive as opposed to users who will buy no matter what.
  • Partner with Lower Funnel and Coupon Business unit to identify, develop and implement targeting improvements to optimize coupon spend and obtain a better return over investment for different cohorts.
  • Managed a team of geographically distributed data scientists supporting the global CRM function.
  • Responsible for the global CRM data science project pipeline. Worked closely with global business partners to identify, develop and implement targeting improvements across various Internet marketing channels that led to $90M/year incremental revenue.
  • Built a recommendation engine (loosely based on collaborative filtering) to surface inspiring and relevant product to users.
  • Improved A/B test designs that resulted in roughly 30% more tests reaching significance.


Data Scientist, 02/2014 to 02/2015
Ebay Inc – San Jose, CA
  • Developed a model to predict user's propensity to purchase an item on eBay.com on a given day using R & SQL.
