Simulmedia, is a leader in data optimized TV campaigns that are guaranteed to deliver better performance. We have created a Performance TV platform that revolutionizes the way world views TV. We collect and combine data on millions of TV households to make TV advertising powerful, predictable, provable and profitable.My focus area at Simulmedia is in Measurement and Identity Products. During my 3 years at Simulmedia, working alongside enthusiastic software/data engineers, data scientists and product managers we got a unique opportunity to build the entire technology stack from the ground-up. This provided me an opportunity to design, build, execute and support all aspects of the Platform. Over this time, I have built the core APIs, their interactions & data-flow and influenced the overall Platform architecture as well as direction of the Product. Further out I got interested in diving deeper into massive datasets, it’s nuances and how we can leverage this data to empower our Platform - make it more effective, efficient and accurate. This got me into managing and developing measurement, data-science intensive methodologies and further out building the core Intellectual Property of the company. I view my role as key to identifying and solving problems that are core to the business and enabling the team to more effectively solve them. I strive for directly supporting the team in all ways needed and keep them motivated, inspired and aligned to the business objectives as well as their individual growth. Apart from this, I help manage execution and coordination across teams, data partners, end-users/clients both internal and external. I enjoy working alongside and influencing business development, business operations, sales, product and product marketing teams; observing and evolving the broader organization and its processes as it grows. This alignment of data, science and software efforts with repeatable and efficient business value is an area that excites me.
