At YouTube, I work in the Performance Analytics team. helping improve how creators and users experience support. My focus is on turning data into decisions: defining what “good” looks like, measuring it through metrics, and uncovering insights that make YouTube’s self-help platforms smarter and more effective. On any given week, I might be: - Building dashboards that tell the story behind the numbers - Designing experiments to understand what drives performance - Partnering with product and operations teams to translate insights into impact What excites me most about this role is the scale and purpose, using analytics to make support simpler, faster, and more helpful for millions of creators and viewers worldwide.

I examined the benefits of applying Ultra High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) over the steel deck of a bridge. I used Marc-Mentat software to conduct non-linear finite element analysis through simulation. The simulated results were correlated with known experimental data and extrapolated to estimate the bridge's deflection under various structural conditions.

About

I'm curious about one question: How can we use technology, business, and better decision-making to create more leverage in our lives and careers? Professionally, I've worked across operations, analytics, strategy, and business problem-solving—from managing critical energy infrastructure at HPCL, to earning my MBA from ISB, to working in Performance Analytics at Google. Personally, I'm fascinated by AI, product building, personal finance, productivity, career growth, and the changing future of work. I'm not here to position myself as an expert. I'm here to learn in public. On LinkedIn, I share: • AI tools, trends, and practical applications • Lessons from business, analytics, and product thinking • Career and MBA-related insights • Personal finance and decision-making frameworks • Experiments, successes, failures, and lessons learned along the way My goal is simple: to share ideas that are practical, actionable, and grounded in real experience—not just what sounds good in theory. Always learning. Always building.
