Project: Log AnalyticsAn Analytical solution for detecting undesirable system behaviour from datalogs.• As Data Scientist – Worked with system experts to define the Health Indicators to detect the undesirable behaviours. Design rules to detect erroneous patterns in the logs – Developed PowerBI dashboards application to help troubleshooters identify unhealthy patterns appearing in data-logs and efficiently navigate through them. Thus reducing the troubleshooting time by 80%• As Data Engineer – Developed analytics modules for computing complex health indicators using Big-Data technology – Automated the end-to-end data pipeline (Data Injection, Data Processing (Cleaning, Transformation)) with Apache AirflowProject: Incident DetectionA Data-driven troubleshooting solution to detect unhealthy trains from a fleet that needs maintenance.• Developed a statistical model to detect faulty trains from the event datalogs generated by train.• Packaged solution as executable and deployed in Alstom’s Fleet management system.Project: Anomaly detection in Odometry systemA solution to detect anomalies in the train’s odometry system to ensure efficient and effective maintenance.• Developed algorithm using Autoencoder architecture that detected anomalies with high Recall (over 99%)Project: Ebicab Developed two unsupervised anomaly detection methods based on Autoencoder and textual transformer that detects the variable deviation, explaining the presence of a train software failure in time-series data coming from train's ATC subsystem. Conducted a comparative analysis of both methods and documented the findings in a technical report. The solution is able to identify failures not detected by rule based approach.
