Overview

I've spent 14 years on search and ranking - first at Axis Bank, now at Marble Commerce. Built the experimentation framework 19 product teams use to ship changes safely. Wrote the learning to rank service that now handles 16 million requests a day. Before that: Freshworks and LTIMindtree. Most at home with Elasticsearch and Java. Learning to sail.
