Summary
Dayananda Ubrangala is a Principal Applied Scientist with a decade of hands-on experience building and deploying ML solutions across enterprise SaaS, search, and market-research domains. He blends statistical rigor from a Master's in Statistics with production-grade engineering—designing Azure Databricks/AML pipelines, FAISS-indexed search endpoints, and automated retraining flows that improved CTR and reduced no-results rates. His work spans propensity, churn, LTV and anomaly-detection models for customers at Microsoft, VMware and others, and he has driven ML for business risk prediction and mining-truck survival analytics. An active open-source maintainer of R libraries (DriveML, SmartEDA) and a KDD presenter on data quality for ML, he couples research contributions with measurable product impact. Colleagues know him for turning messy, cross-platform data (SAS/SPSS/R migrations) into reliable pipelines and for shipping explainable models including GPT-based summarisation for stakeholder-facing insights. Based in Bengaluru, he brings a rare mix of statistical depth, MLOps pragmatism and domain breadth across healthcare, retail, energy and market research.
