Player latent representation • Implemented BERT-inspired masked language modelling (MLM) framework to learn latent player embeddings from sequential gameplay events  automatic representn learning w/o manual feature engineering. • Trained transformer-based embeddings capturing contextual relationships among players, achieved accuracy of ~95% | Integrated XGBoost models for downstream tasks such as churn prediction & conversion modelling. • Validated the transferability of player embeddings, demonstrating that once trained via MLM, they can be reused across multiple predictive tasks, improving ROC-AUC from 0.67 (XGBoost) to 0.85 (with BERT-MLM) First deposit personalization • Built a first-deposit personalization framework that recommends deposit tiles by combining an XGBoost-based CP model with a location-aware nearest neighbour distribution of user deposits. • Optimized NN search using ANN, ↓ing computation time from 7–8 sec to <0.05 sec/user with ~95% accuracy. • On A/B testing it gave us a lift of ~6-7%

About

I am a Data Scientist with 4+ years of experience applying machine learning and analytics to solve high-impact business problems. My work focuses on personalization, predictive modeling, and data-driven strategies that drive revenue growth, efficiency, and user engagement. At Games24x7, I built large-scale targeting and personalization frameworks that improved conversions, reduced acquisition costs, and delivered multi-crore revenue impact. Previously at Abbott Nutrition, I led sales force effectiveness analytics and created automated dashboards that enhanced field force productivity and commercial excellence. With a strong academic foundation in mathematics and business analytics (PGDBA – IIM Calcutta/ISI Kolkata/IIT Kharagpur, MSc – IIT Bombay), I bring a mix of technical expertise and business insight, with a passion for building scalable AI/ML solutions.
