# Akshay I. > Software Engineer Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/akshayi I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in computer science and business administration. Utilizing those skills and experiences, I have engaged in different internships dealing with data, strategy, and finance. It was really those one or two moments when seeing how data-driven decisions could transform a company or even a local shop and change people's lives that developed my passion for all data things alike. After being fascinated by machine learning and big data, I wanted to pursue my graduate degree at Columbia University studying data science. I intend on using my knowledge and passions in a job where I can expand my experiences and help make work for others more efficient. My love for data and entrepreneurial/strategic mindset helps me think of the business and client perspective while maneuvering the constraints of the data side. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Atlassian Jan 2024 – Present | New York, United States ### Data Science Intern @ Atlassian Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | New York, New York, United States • Utilized Databricks in order to formulate automated monthly ETL pipeline for email metrics such as spam and bounce • Examined multiple data sources containing over 100,000 monthly records employing SQL & Python and designed a singular aggregated table through multiple joins and queries • Created scoring methods for email health category through PCA analysis utilizing 3 principal components and weights for the 6 metrics • Established a live data product using Tableau assisting stakeholders to see email metrics, health, and reporters filtered by month, scoring method, and health category, reducing potential email send risk by 20% ### Business Analyst Intern @ Cisco Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 • Collaborated with 2 engineers and 1 analyst to retrieve 10000+ record datasets from SAP and PEGA to filter down variables relevant to feedback cases for loaned-out/trial products • Examined data using Python, SQL and Jupyter notebooks to see top trending problems within cases related to various geographic regions in order to present 3 areas of impact for cross-sectional engineer, finance, and management teams • Implemented cluster program based on k-means and found 8 main root causes within text descriptions of cases • Automated data analysis and detection processes and generated reports within 1 day, reducing workflow timeline by 14 days ### Finance and Strategy Intern @ Sizigi Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 • Analyzed results from a 500+ person survey using Tableau and Excel to formulate and promote pricing analysis to management • Researched and evaluated 3 different target launch cities for 2021 based on SWOT framework to drive GTM motion • Spearheaded efforts around creating unique B2B and B2C playbooks to generate 2 target markets of customer acquisition funnel ### Camp Counselor @ YMCA of the Triangle Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 • Composed and implemented a daily plan for 3-month periods to balance fun events and learning, leading to increased satisfaction for kids and increased revenues for the camp • Formulated stories of life lessons in order to expand and increase the knowledge of kids ### Referee @ FUTBOL CLUB OF CARY INC Jan 2015 – Jan 2018 ### Cisco Extern @ Cisco Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 • Integrated internet of technology (I.O.T.) into distinct objects to allow Cisco to distribute and market products to other companies, expediting Cisco’s marketing process by 3-5 days • Produced capstone project based on I.O.T. that incorporates different technologies to track pollution in order to raise a high level of awareness among people for pollution in the environment ## Education ### Master of Science - MS in Data Science Columbia University ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Business Administration and Computer Science UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School ### Apex High School ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/iyengarakshay00 --- Source: https://flows.cv/akshayi JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/akshayi/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-05
