Vikash Kumar
@vikashkumar9
Data scientist specializing in predictive modeling and pricing strategies for retail growth.
What I'm looking for
I am a data scientist with over two years of experience turning complex data into actionable business insights, particularly in pricing and inventory optimization for large retail operations.
At Landmark Group I designed and deployed a centralized pricing platform that drove AED 50M incremental revenue, built cross-price elasticity modules for 1,200+ SKUs, and created a margin estimator with under 10% WMAPE—deploying models as APIs and automating insights with GPT-4.
I bring hands-on expertise in Azure Databricks pipelines, machine learning (Random Forest, XGBoost, CNNs, Transformers), and end-to-end project delivery, and I seek to apply these skills to measurable business problems in analytics-driven teams.
