Summary
Kanchan Satpute is a Senior Data Scientist based in San Francisco with 8 years of experience turning large-scale, messy datasets into product-ready insights and predictive models. She has driven mobility and travel analytics at Bentley, optimized ETL and product metrics at Wayfair, and most recently advanced data-driven decisions at Zendesk before joining PayPal. Her strengths span large geospatial and clickstream datasets, KPI-driven dashboarding, and building productionized models that inform product and business strategy. Comfortable bridging engineering and product teams, she combines rigorous applied statistics (MS in Data Analytics, certificate in Applied Statistics) with hands-on SQL and ML engineering. An understated asset: she repeatedly surfaces data-quality shifts early, preventing downstream regressions in live systems.
