Experience

1. Data Scientist

   Focuskpi, Inc

   Jul 2024 — Present · Phoenix, AZ, US

   Worked on building the Omni-Impact solution from ground up, a production-grade combined Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA) and Media Mix Modeling solution, leveraging Bayesian modeling and ML techniques to measure incremental sales and iROAS across onsite, offsite, and other digital media channels. Delivered executive-ready insights that recommended $10M+ in incremental ads-spend in first year, with the solution later recognized in the Mars scorecard, validating Sam’s Club’s MTA + measurement capabilities. Built a framework for budget planning and optimization, integrating MTA outputs as priors to deliver forward-looking, supplier-ready spend recommendations. Designed a Bayesian attribution framework incorporating external priors to stabilize estimates, align results with industry benchmarks, and improve trust with suppliers and internal stakeholders Worked to get the product from Pilot to Alpha to Market, partnering with sales, marketing, and analytics teams to validate model performance, refine GTM strategy, and scale adoption across Sams Club suppliers. Engineered scalable, automated data pipelines using Python, SQL, BigQuery, and cloud workflows to integrate online, offline, and in-store data sources.
