Work History

Data Analytics Lead

Bayer CropScience
Bangalore
2023.02 - Current
  • Collaborated with with the researchers across the functions to provide data based solutions to help making business decisions
  • Enabled Protein Design Scientists to seamlessly integrate three state-of-the-art AI-based protein structure prediction models - ESMFold, OpenFold, and AlphaFold into their research by developing Secure, Robust and scalable cloud based platform to run, and download predicted protein 3D structures.
  • Developed an application to visualize and make advancement decisions of gene editing projects by providing the precise data and visuals out of huge number of trials.
  • Created framework to predict protein toxicity against crop pests using historical dataset, reducing organization costs and efforts by 75%. Received 2nd Best Poster Award at Internal Global Science Conference for presentation.

Sr. Data Scientist

Bayer CropScience
Bangalore
2022.02 - 2023.02
  • Enabled tailored and real-time agronomic analysis, insights & prediction and actionable agronomic advisory for smallholder farmers using external weather & internal field-testing data, focusing on key in-season farm operations such as planting, fertilizer application, etc. Recienved Best Poster award in an Internal Global Science conference for presentation.
  • Developed Random forest, regression, XG boost models to predict corn yield for small holder farmers in thailand locations to help internal commercial and production teams plan with their forecast and the inventory.
  • Manged 2 resources to deliver multiple projects to develop, maintain and deploy Rshiny based applications, modernize the tools by migrations the entire infrastructure to AWS Cloud.
  • Trained Multiple coleagues on Docker, API, R programming etc.

Data Scientist

Bayer CropScience
Bangalore
2020.02 - 2022.02
  • Derived correlation of internal Crop Protection sales VS Weather data using R programming and R Shiny. To build a prescriptive model in order to help our commercial teams include these implications into their business planning
  • Presented/Participated a poster in Internal Science Conference 2021. Received best poster award.
  • Developed an web based tool using Python and Dash, AWS that enables scientists and data scientists to leverage protein structures for sequence-structure-activity relationships (SSAR) for assessment of MOA risks and engineering proteins to improve insecticidal activity.
  • Trained 50+ colleagues and Students on R programming, RShiny, Python, AWS basics, API, Docker etc
  • Mentored 2 interns.

Data Analyst

Bayer CropScience
Bangalore
2016.09 - 2020.02
  • Developed ML based tool utilizing Randomforest model, AWS, R Shiny, and R to boost operational efficiency through monitoring TaqMan assay success rates and implementing machine learning for remediation tactics resulting in saving 1,100 –1,800 hours/year in manual review time.
  • Enabled protein advancement decisions by developing a tool to fetch all the data available for an individual protein from multiple sources (MySQL, data lake, AWS RDS, data warehouse) and developed reports that could help the researcher to understand or predict whether a protein is a good candidate for improvement.

Intern

Bayer CropScience
Bangalore
2016.01 - 2016.07
  • Developed web based automation tool to enable data driven, error free decisions in ELISA lab activities using R programming and RShiny.
  • Developed a novel framework for addressing the lack of studies on identifying transcriptomic responsive genes to water stress in plants using meta-analysis technique.

Toy projects

shinyr: 

  • Open Source package published on CRAN.
  • Data Insights Through Inbuilt R Shiny App (open source) It Builds dynamic R shiny based dashboards to analyze any CSV files., It allows users to upload a csv file and obtain data insights, exploratory analysis including (scatter, bar, histogram, box, word cloud, etc..) and predictive modeling (supervised and unsupervised) by simple clicks.
  • Give a try: https://jayachandra-n.shinyapps.io/shinyR
  • Publication: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/shinyr/index.html

Chain Reaction game 

  • Simple Table game which uses R programming, RShiny, DT tables. The game works similar to android based chani reaction game.
  • Objective: Take control of the board by eliminating opponents' orbs.
  • Game play:
  • Purple and Green players take turns placing orbs of their color.
  • Orbs stack up in a cell.
  • When a cell reaches its critical mass, it explodes:Adjacent cells gain an orb.
    The original cell loses orbs equal to its critical mass.
    Explosions can convert adjacent cells to the player's color.
  • Winning: Eliminate opponents' orbs to win.
