Soham Basu

I am a passionate Data Scientist with a proven 5+ years of experience in advanced analytics, data analysis, visualization, and generative/predictive AI. Currently pursuing a Master’s in Artificial Intelligence (AI) from Friedrich Alexander Universität Erlangen Nürnberg, I hold Google certification and have contributed to Industry 4.0 by facilitating data-driven decision-making for our business partners. Proficient in SQL/Google BigQuery and Python, I empower clients to make reliable data-driven decisions, elevating their operations through analytical insights.

During my year-long role as a Working Student Data Scientist at Wayfair Inc., I've focused on harnessing data analytics and machine learning to optimize operations. This included developing machine learning models for sentiment analysis on product reviews, streamlining our supply chain, and enhancing data flow. My tenure here has allowed me to further refine my adaptability in a dynamic work environment.

At Tata Consultancy Services from 2017 to 2021, I designed and implemented a customer churn algorithm that reduced churn rate by 30%, collaborated effectively with our telecom giant client, and improved market share by 22% for a retail chain client through my Python-based customer segmentation algorithm. I also demonstrated my adaptability and analytical thinking by designing an ML solution for predicting insurance claim severity and cost accurately. My work included extensive experience in agile methodologies, data visualization using tools like PowerBI and Looker, and managing large-scale relational databases with PL/SQL stored procedures and functions. This journey allowed me to refine these soft skills and apply them to deliver impactful data-driven solutions.

My most relevant training includes pursuing a Master's in Artificial Intelligence (AI) from Friedrich Alexander Universität Erlangen Nürnberg, which has deepened my expertise in AI and its applications. Additionally, my role as a Working Student Data Scientist at Wayfair Inc. has provided hands-on experience in harnessing data analytics and machine learning to optimize operations, further enhancing my practical skills in the field. I am also Google certified, demonstrating my proficiency in utilizing Google tools and platforms for data analysis and decision-making. These training experiences, coupled with my real-world experience at Wayfair, have equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in the field of data science and AI, enabling me to drive impactful insights and solutions.
