Work Experience

Red Hat, Inc.

Business Data Scientist - 2 June 2021 - Present

• M&A Timeline Prediction:
Instituted ML driven approach for startup acquisition timeline prediction using market research data

• Marketing Intelligence & Country Prioritization:
Primary focus of the project was to understand where should Red Hat invest its next incremental Dollar($) The marketing intelligence data set used for the project was a repository of internal and external metrics related to Red Hat businesses such as addressable market data, macro and micro economic data as well as internal data on a per country/language basis. The goal of the project was to see if the existing way of ranking countries and languages can be optimized & enhanced using traditional or nontraditional statistical methods (regressions, time series, machine learning, AI). The ranking consisted of ranking countries and languages based on the probability to be successful for Red Hat business according to past performances in those countries/languages. ML Techniques Used: Regression Analysis, Random Forest (Weight Estimation of features), L2-Regularization

• Long Term Revenue Forecast:
Forecasting business revenue based on internal and external metrics is a key factor to develop coherent and data driven strategy and decision at Red Hat. This project was used for analysis of different kinds of forecasting methods using internal(marketing, financial & sales factors) and external metrics(Macro economic factors) for analyzing which methods are more appropriate depending on the products, the region or other criteria. Leveraging advanced Time series & ML techniques like ARIMA, LSTM Recurrent Neural Networks and feature engineering techniques like PCA was the key part of the project.

LinkedIn Testimonials

  • Aditya worked as our 2020 summer intern. He has demonstrated strong data science skills and an ability to work under open guidelines. He has also shown a level of professional maturity that you rarely see at that stage. Using his data science skills he solved an issue in a prioritization model as well as refreshed our beta machine learning models for long term forecasting. I will definitely recommend him for any data science related work.

  • Aditya is motivated, hard working and has a zeal to learn more and more, It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Aditya. I had the pleasure of working with Aditya for two years in Amdocs, collaborating on several project teams. I was particularly impressed by Aditya's ability to handle even the toughest projects—effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop among experienced professionals. He is a quick learner and already has command on multiple technologies like ETL, Teradata, UNIX and other DW/BI techniques. He is great person to work with and a great asset to any team.
