Ads And Promotion Platform, Gojek Bangalore • Implemented a central store to promote re-usability of offline features across multiple use cases and act as SSOT for offline model training and online feature serving. – Used GitLab CI/CD to automate various functions such as BigQuery table creation, table deletion, updation of feature catalog, etc. – Used clockwork(Airflow Based), an internal tool, to schedule daily jobs to refresh features. • Proposed and Designed ML architecture to introduce optimisation of bookings, in addition to clicks, in text search ads ranking. This will help in achieving high return on ad spend for ad merchants and thus resulting in higher retention. • Designed and analysed multiple A/B experiments. This includes aligning on appropriate primary and secondary metrics, sample size calculation to ensure statistically significant results and hypothesis testing on observed data.
