Summary
Kushagra Sachan is a Senior Forecasting Data Scientist based in the San Francisco Bay Area with nine years of experience applying data science, optimization, and ML to supply-chain and operations problems. He has driven multi-million dollar inventory savings by improving demand forecasts with reconciled Neural-Prophet models and by automating planning pipelines and simulation-driven decision tools. At Western Digital/Sandisk he built RAG-enabled systems to extract live insights from unstructured documents and led cross-functional projects that cut procurement response time and improved SLAs. Comfortable both as a hands-on engineer and a mentor, he pairs software skills (Java, SQL, JS) with advanced stochastic modeling and optimization to deliver production-ready solutions. Beyond typical forecasting work, he has steered robotics and community leadership initiatives, reflecting a practical curiosity for engineering that benefits teams and end users.
