Work History

Lead Engineer

Samsung R&D Institute - Bangalore (Samsung Ads)
Bangalore
01.2022 - Current
  • Worked on building knowledge graph to enhance audience segmentation and personalized advertising in adtech platform.
  • Created an end-to-end pipeline that processed TV program viewing data,generated BERT-based embeddings for program descriptions and used Lance Search on vector embeddings to identify viewing patterns and predict age groups in real-time. This enhanced targeting capabilities for TV advertisers by enabling more precise age demographic predictions based on content preferences,improving campaign effectiveness.
  • Implemented the Temporal Fusion transformer (TFT) time series model to forecast bid requests and impressions specifically to Samsung TV advertising, enabling better ad inventory management and campaign optimization.
  • Design and implement scalable data pipelines using PySpark and Apache Airflow for processing large datasets
  • Achieved cost savings by streamlining workflows, automating repetitive tasks, and reducing material waste across various projects.
  • Utilized AWS S3 for storing and managing large datasets, improving data access.
  • Implemented and maintained Kubernetes -based containerized applications, enabling smooth deployment and scaling of data pipelines.
  • Collaborated closely with cross functional teams to identify business needs and translate them into technical solutions using data driven approaches.

Senior Research Engineer

Zapr Media Labs
Bangalore
01.2020 - 01.2022
  • Implemented Automatic Content Recognition(ACR) using OpenCV to identify and analyze digital content in video and image ads, enabling automatic ad verification and content matching for targeted advertising campaigns.
  • Built a YOLO based system to identify brand logos and other visual content in video ads, improving the accuracy of ad targeting and enabling better ad performance insights.

Engineer
