Experience

Product Recommendation System for a Retail Firm

A Middle East-based home furniture firm has recently ventured into an online presence. For effective marketing campaigns, I have developed a recommendation solution using collaborative filtering (a technique used by most online streaming providers like Netflix and Amazon) and complex descriptive analytics. This gives the most suitable product recommendations for each customer individually based on their purchase pattern.

Data Warehouse and Power BI Set Up for a Leading Media Company

Developed the financial dashboards for a media services company specializing in media inventory services for globally renowned OTT platforms such as Netflix, Disney Plus, and others. I've fully automated the data flow using Python, Azure VMs, and PostgreSQL, optimizing available resources.

The setup includes seamless integration with leading OTT platforms, allowing us to directly access detailed data from sources like Netflix. This enhances our workflow, enabling us to manage the quality of deliveries more effectively.

The financial dashboards provede a comprehensive overview of critical metrics, including total revenue and accruals. The forward-thinking approach ensured efficiency and accuracy in data processing. To further enhance their operations, we prioritized security and compliance, scalability for future growth, robust monitoring and alerting systems, and thorough documentation of our data engineering processes and integrations.
