Senior Data Engineer ZS Associates, Chicago, IL Aug 2024 - Present
• Conducted detailed exploratory analysis of HCP engagement, promotional activity and prescribing behavior using SQL and Python, cleaned and validated data across time periods and therapeutic segments to ensure modeling readiness.
• Built segmentation models using K-Means and Hierarchical Clustering to classify HCPs based on response, frequency and prescription trends and helped marketing teams target under-engaged and high-potential segments more effectively.
• Developed multivariate regression models to quantify the impact of promotional tactics on prescription lift and isolated the effect of rep visits, digital campaigns and speaker events on behavior change.
• Collaborated with client stakeholders, brand consultants and engineering teams to align KPIs and validate model assumptions. Participated in interactive feedback sessions to tailor outputs to business needs.
• Wrote complex SQL queries to extract structured data from Snowflake and join multiple engagement sources. Ensured scalable query logic using CTEs and window functions for periodic analysis. Data Engineer Fractal Analytics, San Diego, CA Sep 2023 – July 2024
• Created automated ETL workflows using AWS Glue to extract billing and usage logs, transform cost data and prepare inputs for daily analysis and reduced ETL failure rate and ensured high-frequency pipeline reliability.
• Wrote and maintained complex Athena SQL queries to slice cloud spend by account, service type, environment and cost center and enabled cost drilldowns with hourly and daily granularity.
• Developed interactive Power BI dashboards with cost trends, forecasted spending, service optimization summaries, and anomaly alerts. Used historical averages and variance logic for visual detection.
• Built cost optimization models comparing reserved vs. on-demand instance usage. Provided actionable recommendations leading to 15-20% monthly savings
