Business Analyst II @ Meesho \| Data Engineering & Analytics \| Spark · Databricks · Airflow · SQL · Python \| Built AI\-powered root\-cause analysis used by 100\+ analysts

## 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\.
