Experience
IBM
I developed the Python integer programming algorithm to solve this problem. Considering the business constraints made this problem interesting and unique. I parameterized the optimization period (the period to look into the future) in the algorithm to provide multiple solutions. The client especially appreciated this feature.

Newristics
I automated the message scorer process where a team compares the new message against the old one and analyzes it to rate how closely it depicts the heuristic.
Text data is then preprocessed with text cleaning, text normalization, and generated unigram bigram of normalized data. I built two main models to solve this problem: XGBoost and deep neural network seq-to-seq learning.
For XGBoost, I created around 900 features (divided into three sections).
• NLP basic features: count/ratio of words/character of the message, TF-IDF of unigram/bigram, gensim TF-IDF similarity, and so on
• Word embedding—similarity of self/pre-trained Word2vec/GloVe-weighted average embedding vectors (TF-IDF as weight), etc.
• Graph—degree of nodes, the intersection of neighbors, k-core/k-clique, degree of separation, etc.
I used the deep learning seq-to-seq model to enhance the sequence inference neural network architecture.

Demand Forecast at an SKU-level for a Brewery Company
In order to plan its production and distribution as well as help wholesalers with their planning, it is important for them to have an accurate estimate of demand at SKU level (34) for each wholesaler (60).
Data: Four years of data of 60 agencies and 34 SKUs are used for prediction.
• Price sales promotion (dollar/hectoliter): The price, sales, and promotion in dollar value per hectoliter at an agency-SKU-month level
• Historical volume (hectoliters): Sales data at an agency-SKU-month level
• Weather (degree celsius): The average maximum temperature at an agency-month level
• Industry soda sales (hectoliters): Industry-level soda sales
• Event calendar: Event details (sports, carnivals, and so on)
• Industry volume (hectoliters): Industry actual beer volume
• Demographics: Demographic details (yearly income in dollars); used deep neural networks sequence to sequence learning for demand prediction
