Work History

Senior BIE

Amazon
01.2024 - Current
  • Architected and launched a secure, serverless data science workbench with AWS stack, transforming weekly reporting into an automated, diagnostic engine and saving 80% of manual analysis time.
  • Enabled self-service workflows for time series forecasting, attribution analysis, and explainable predictive modeling using a Python and Streamlit-based web application.
  • Integrated LLM-powered summaries to automatically identify and explain key business drivers, shifting analyst focus from data gathering to strategic action.
  • Established the single source of truth for Customer Experience analytics, saving over 300 BIE hours monthly by launching a centralized, self-service QuickSight dataset.
  • Engineered a 'One Big Table' data model by unifying 1.6 billion records (>1TB), providing a holistic view of the customer journey.
  • Embedded complex, level-aware calculations into the data model to empower non-technical users with robust self-service deep-dive capabilities, reducing dependency on analyst teams.
  • Automated root cause analysis for repeat customer contacts by architecting an LLM-powered diagnostic platform, directly supporting a VP-level initiative to reduce repeat contact rates.
  • Built a scalable, serverless AWS solution capable of processing over 2,000 customer transcripts per hour, completely eliminating the need for manual review.
  • Deployed a modular DSPy pipeline utilizing advanced prompting techniques (e.g., Chain-of-Thought, Few-Shot, LLM-as-a-Judge) to accurately identify and surface actionable defect patterns.
  • Resolved a critical, longstanding visibility gap into customer service drivers by developing an LLM-based classification model with >90% accuracy, now covering 85% of all global contacts.
  • Automated the mapping of 5,600+ granular issue codes into 15 actionable contact reason groups, creating a standardized taxonomy for trend analysis.
  • Combined topic modeling with sophisticated classification prompts to deliver a solution that provides unprecedented clarity on why customers contact support.
  • Delivered $7M in annual concession savings by launching an analytics dashboard to identify, quantify, and mitigate customer returns abuse in the Canadian marketplace.
  • Provided actionable intelligence on key defect drivers, including 'Delivered Not Received' abuse patterns and compliance with OTP-enabled secure deliveries.
  • Empowered leadership with a QuickSight-based tool to monitor the financial impact of mitigation strategies and track defect reduction in real-time.
