Data Scientist at YouGov, with an MSc in Computer Science from the University of Mumbai. Building scalable data systems that hold up under scrutiny.
I'm Anam, a Data Scientist at YouGov, based in Mumbai. I hold a Master's in Computer Science from the University of Mumbai, and I work on the Innovations team, handling complex panel analysis and fraud detection at high volume.
Most of what I do lives in R, SQL, and Snowflake. Building self-service tools, automating reports, and the careful work of catching anomalies and fraud before they corrupt downstream analysis.
What I care about: going the extra mile. Whether that's self-upskilling on a new tool to meet business needs, or building something that saves a researcher's afternoon.
Developed a semi-automated report that tracks the volume of new joiners to YouGov panels. A crucial tool for monitoring panel health and catching anomalies in incoming data early.
Built a solution enabling Researchers to run advanced quality control checks themselves, without analyst intervention. Saves the team time and improves data quality by putting QC closer to the people asking the questions.
Contributed to flagging suspicious panelists across multi-market survey data. Refined detection logic, helped standardise the team's Fraud Check Guide, and transitioned legacy queries to Snowflake for better performance.
Streamlined the team's complex ticket-handling workflow, cutting average time spent per ticket from 2.3 hours to 1.8 hours, and reducing overall time-to-resolution by almost a full day in a single month.
Recognised for explicitly demonstrating YouGov's value of 'Be fearless'. The award cited high-volume, complex panel fraud detection work, streamlining workflows (cutting ticket time by ~22%), self-upskilling on R and Power BI, and building tools that improved both team efficiency and data quality.
