Experience

1. Business Intelligence Engineer Manager

   Amazon

   Jul 2023 — Present · Bengaluru, IN

   I support the Selling Partner support business, where my focus is on designing and executing data- and AI-driven strategies to reduce customer contacts, reopens, NRR, streamline reimbursement processes, and improve shipping and delivery operations across SPS.> In my current role, I lead initiatives that enhance operational efficiency and Seller/Customer satisfaction by combining advanced analytics with AI-powered automation. I build and deploy agentic AI systems, intelligent workflows, and chat-based interfaces that help teams self-serve insights, resolve issues faster, and reduce manual operational overhead. These solutions have directly contributed to lower seller inquiries, faster reimbursements, and a more seamless shipping and delivery experience.> I measure business impact using rigorous statistical and causal inference methods such as Synthetic Control Models (SCM), Difference-in-Differences (DiD), and pre-/post-analysis, ensuring improvements are both measurable and scalable.> My approach emphasizes deep collaboration with Product, Tech, Ops, and Finance to identify operational bottlenecks and design AI-augmented workflows—including automated requirement intake, intelligent triaging, conversational data access, and decision support. I continuously explore emerging AI capabilities to modernize fulfillment operations, drive cost efficiency, and maintain a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving ecosystem.
