Shashank joined the Analytics team at CenturyLink as a campus hire and quickly established himself as a strong player in the team in the areas of Machine Learning and R programming. He delivered very well on some complex projects and also handled the coordination with the US team very well. I have no doubt that he will do very well in the field of Data Science and wish him the best.

Shashank worked with me at CenturyLink Cognilytics on several projects. He is an extremely talented data scientist who has a deep understanding of statistics, machine learning along with the ability to write great code. He has contributed significantly with innovative ideas on several occasions during the projects and has also implemented them successfully. I recommend him very highly.

      Lead a team of Data Scientists to work on the following projects:Return to Origin (RTO) - Developed a classification model to predict the probability of RTO for a suborder. Build an API to estimate the probability in real time. The model is used for verifying every order at Snapdeal.Promised Date of Delivery (PDD) - Build a regression model to estimate the PDD for every shipment using historical lane features. The model is used for estimating PDD for every order at Snapdeal. Recommendation Engine - Used a combination of collaborative filtering and image similarity to generate similar recommendations for top products at Snapdeal. The recommendation engine is used to serve similar products on the product page.Product Deduplication - Developed a system to identify duplicate products using transfer learning and image similarity. Used it to remove duplicate items from homepage and search page which lead to a significant improvement in user experience. Show less
