Short Bio
Since July 2021, I’m a Lead Data Scientist in the U.S. Omni Data Science & Analytics at Walmart Inc. I help innovate and develop appropriate analytical modeling techniques to drive next-generation Walmart financial services products, with a focus on improving the deeper relationship with the core business of Walmart.
I am very honored to be selected as one of the Google’s WTMAmbassadors. As an Ambassador, I will be an active community leader organizing events, speaking at conferences, creating content and mentoring others. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn & share experiences and leave an impact.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California Riverside, where I was advised by Prof. Vagelis Papalexakis and supported by the UCR Graduate Fellowship. My thesis focused on modeling and mining multi-aspect graphs with scalable streaming tensor decomposition for real-world applications. During my Ph.D. journey, I interned with Adobe, Snapchat, and LLNL Research teams. Prior to that, I received my B. Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Punjab Technical University in 2011. I have 5 years of professional experience working as Sr. Network Engineer with Ericsson Global Services India Pvt. Ltd on LTE/LTE-A Technology.
Outside of work, I like to run, hike, dance, gardening and travel. I am improving my dance skill specifically in Bhangra, a Punjabi folk dance.
