Computer Scientist 2 at Adobe, Jul 2025 - Apr 2026 · 10 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Computer Scientist 2 at Adobe, Dec 2021 - Jun 2025 · 3 yrs 7 mos, San Jose, California, United States, Engineering Responsibilities and Accomplishments - Successful GA of Computed Attributes (metadata and computation service). Computed Attributes (CA) are designed to aggregate time-series data into profile-level insights. It provides a great business value for Experience Platform (RTCDP), as it provides richer profiles that can help in segmentation, personalization and targeting use-cases. Designing and Implementing CA service involved working with multiple Adobe Experience Platform stakeholders which includes XDM, Dataset, PQL, UPS, Orchestration Service and other teams. It was also great to learn about Data Governance (DULE, PES, ABAC etc.) technologies and HIPAA (Consent, CMK, Audit etc.) compliance at AEP, and contribute to it for CA service, and be the first team to be baking in Trust and Governance from Day 1. Prior to working on multi-quarter CA project (which included alpha, beta and then GA release), also worked on Pipeline (Kafka) APIs for skybridge initiative (secure communication over TLS endpoints) and also enhanced its metrics functionality. Identified and resolved manual offset issue in Metrics Observer (MO), and implemented Pipeline API support for MO. Apart from engineering responsibilities I have been also part of customer and product meetings, which educated me about how the product is being used, and be able to incorporate those learnings for better documentation, communication and prioritizing initiatives that matter. Quick turnaround on implementing and resolving customer raised concerns and/or enhancements, in an analytical and judicious manner. I was also part of a mentorship program in 2023, where I worked with a Senior leader in AEP, to help me guide towards career growth.
