1. Lead the biweekly Perception software release which involves running 75+ metrics and tests, debugging failures and regressions and working with several cross functional teams to analyze and understand changes to metrics and tests. 2. Lead dataset generation efforts for the entire Perception team. This involves mining for data by writing complex SQL queries and using Scala and Pyspark in Databricks notebooks, creating datasets by balancing data across multiple parameters and testing to ensure the data is compliant with existing pipelines. As a result, improved the new dataset turnaround time from 1-2 versions/datasets every year to 4-6 weeks.3. Build metrics dashboards for different Perception areas on Databricks by writing complex SQL queries and in Looker by using OpenML.4. Identify and create automation workflows using Python for different QA workflows with the Perception team. 5. Responsible for creating and maintaining documentation on different testing workflows in the Perception team and for several cross functional team efforts as well.

1. Worked as a Graduate Research Assistant at the Biometrics and Machine Learning Laboratory on a project titled "Using Mobile Data for Behavior Understanding". 2. Analyzed mobile data such as Wi-Fi access points, Bluetooth points and App Usage data for a dataset of 200 subjects collected over a period of 21 months under unsupervised conditions to understand the mobile usage behaviors of individuals.3. Extracted features from the data using PCA, LDA, LBP and other feature types and fed them to a SVM and performed a 10-fold cross validation analysis to predict gender, differentiate one user from another or determine unauthorized access.
