As a Data Scientist on the Traveler Data Products team at GetYourGuide, I have spent the last 4 years developing and refining the ranking and relevance systems that power one of the world's leading travel experience platforms. My work is focused on enhancing the traveler's journey, helping millions discover and book their ideal experiences through data-driven solutions.
My path to data science is built on a foundation of diverse technical experience. I began my career in 2013 as a backend developer in Pune, India, before pursuing a Master's in Computer Science at the Indian Institute of Technology Patna, where I specialised in Network Science. Following my studies, I continued at the institute for two years as a research assistant, further honing my expertise in Network Science, which paved my way into the field of data science.
In 2021, I relocated to Berlin to join GetYourGuide, where I apply my software engineering background and machine learning skills to solve real-world problems at scale. This blend of backend development experience, academic research, and industry application gives me a unique perspective on building robust, production-ready data solutions.

Tired of data quality issues crashing your PySpark and Pandas pipelines? This talk introduces dataframe-expectations, a lightweight, open-source library for declarative data validation. We will dive into the library's design and demonstrate how to easily define and apply data quality expectations to catch errors early, reduce debugging time, and ship more reliable data products, faster. Learn to build more robust data pipelines and move from reactive problem-solving to proactive data validation.
