  • Order volume forecasting across 20+ cities using Facebook Prophet with COVID and weather external regressors.

  • NLP-based product classification at scale — 200k+ SKUs categorised automatically.

  • Recommendation systems using TF-IDF, collaborative filtering, and user clustering.

  • Full ML lifecycle: model training, evaluation, deployment, and automated retraining pipelines.

  • REST API delivery via FastAPI and Spring Boot for operational system integration.

  • CI/CD for ML models with automated testing and rollback capabilities.

Results

  • Production-grade ML covering forecasting, recommendations, and NLP classification across 20+ city markets.

  • ETA accuracy improved significantly, directly impacting customer satisfaction scores.

  • Automated classification of 200k+ products eliminated manual taxonomy maintenance.
