As I wrap up my consulting tenure, I reflect on my success stories in the past 4 years. Here are some key projects that serve as my badges of success:
Bundle Recommendations Project #1 - Bundle recommendations for a specialty retailer of children’s apparel, from newborns to pre-teens (2020) Work/Impact - Transitioned from automated merchandiser-based recommendations to ML-based bundle recommendations. Achieved a 100% match with the ML approach. For a category level, we analyzed 6 months of transactions, comprising 1.5 million orders, and generated recommendations in 15 minutes.
Performance Optimization Project #2 (2021) - For a multinational mining company, optimized an existing app, more akin to a trading app, deployed between OLAP vs. OLTP. Applied a blend of DB/user and usage analysis/patterns/ML-based techniques to provide a list of recommendations to optimize.
GenAI + Vision Project #3 (2023-2024) - For a British multinational fast-moving consumer goods company, My key contribution is solution architecture based on Vision + GenAI for product detection and personalized recommendations, for its customers' products and brands.
Plants Classification Project #4 - Developing vision-based state-of-the-art classification models for the world's leading gardening charity. This work involved data curation, augmentation, and training, and ended as a paper :). Link
GenAI and CX improvement Project #5 - For a US-based leading specialty retailer of organizing solutions, custom spaces, and in-home services, leveraging GenAI + Vision to improve the customer journey. Pitched/deployed selected use cases. This is similar to what you see in Amazon/Swiggy GenAI Changes.
Forecasting Project #6 - Domain played a key role for me to contribute. For a leading South American beauty retailer, developing forecast models.
I had a mix of responsibilities as a Solution Architect, DB, and ML Engineer. I relied mostly on SA/DB/ML. In all projects, The team was a mix of platform, MLOps, and ML engineers. Sometimes the platform is a vendor cloud or an in-prem solution.
Hoping to undertake a few more similar projects in my next self-employed consulting roles.
