Own DAU and NMV diagnostics for a 100M+ user marketplace in the CXO Office – Commerce Platform Control Tower. • Built and shipped a Databricks Genie RCA skill (LMDI decomposition, MECE L1–L4 attribution, 24-check validation gate), rolled out to ~70 Growth/NMV/MAU users; in a blind eval it scored 4.1/5 vs 3.3 for human-written RCAs. • Designed an automated D-1 anomaly alerting system that detects DAU/order-rate deviations, runs the RCA and posts findings with an owner-assigned ticket to leadership's Slack channel daily. • Built a growth analytics app on Databricks Apps (KPI tiles, plan vs actual, dimension cuts, waterfall charts, one-click RCA deep-links). • Built a supplier-ticket classifier on 4.3 lakh tickets (TF-IDF + SGD, 76.9% accuracy) with Spark UDF inference; mapped 81+ raw dispositions into 34 themes.

About

I build data systems that explain themselves. At Meesho, I sit in the CXO Office's Commerce Platform Control Tower, owning DAU and NMV diagnostics for a 100M+ user marketplace. My job is to answer the question leadership asks every morning: what moved, and why? Instead of answering it by hand, I've been automating it: - An AI-powered RCA engine on Databricks that decomposes metric movements (LMDI, MECE L1–L4 attribution, 24-check validation gate). In a blind evaluation it scored 4.1/5 against 3.3 for analyst-written RCAs, and it's now used by 100+ people across 3 charters. - A daily anomaly-alerting system that catches DAU and order-rate deviations, runs the diagnosis, and posts an owner-assigned ticket to leadership before anyone asks. - A growth analytics app on Databricks Apps with plan-vs-actual tracking, dimension cuts, waterfalls, and one-click RCA. Before that, I covered search ranking, catalog quality and user growth analytics at Meesho. At PharmEasy, I built production ETL pipelines with Python and Apache Airflow. What I work with: Python · SQL · PySpark · Databricks · Apache Airflow · ETL/ELT · Data Modeling · LLM applications · Superset · BI & automated reporting · GitHub · CI/CD What I'm good at: sitting at the boundary between engineering and analytics. I can build the pipeline, make it reliable at scale, and explain what the numbers are saying to people who'll act on them.
