Automated Solution to Calculate an Optimal filling of Retail Space

Challenge: Optimization of Retail Space: We have a certain number of shelves in a store and various display zones that must be represented. The task is to fill the shelves in such a way that the chosen layout is maximally effective in terms of revenue and also meets business requirements. Solution: I wrote a library in Python that, based on sales data and store size, calculates how the retail space should be filled. It utilizes a Beam Search algorithm that, at each step, retains not just one best solution, but the top N solutions. This approach allows for diversity (as the best solution at each step does not always yield the best sequence) and maintains a reasonable breadth of search by not analyzing very poor filling options. This solution is automated, simplifying its use for business representatives. Outcome: This solution will be used for zoning in the deployment of new stores and the redesign of old ones

Over a three-year period, we worked closely with one of Russia's largest banks to successfully establish a robust AI monitoring system. This system operates with precision to swiftly address system failures by pinpointing their root causes and making well-informed decisions. The model expanded the scope of forecasted indicators to a total of 50,000, achieving an 85% reduction in false positive alerts. It also delivered a 20% improvement in precision compared to previous methodologies.

Led a team to develop an AI monitoring system that was capable of detecting anomalies in various business indicators. By closely working with one of Russia's largest banks over a span of 3 years, we designed and implemented an advanced backend system dedicated to the detection of anomalies across a wide spectrum of critical business metrics. This system significantly decreased the time and effort previously invested in manual incident detection and enhanced operational efficiency.

I coordinated a team in the development of two distinct automated incident detection models, which yielded substantial improvements in incident detection times, reducing them by an impressive 5 to 15 minutes. These models played a pivotal role in streamlining processes and optimizing the bank's operations.

Tackled the learning issue by implementing various personalized learning styles and improved the product checkout process by decreasing the clicks required for payment from 4 to 2 through A/B testing. This streamlined the checkout process, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
