Big Fish Games

Supporting the successful launch and continuous operation of new mobile games

Senior Data Scientist

Working with player data to ideate, develop, and productionalize ML models to personalize player experience and improve game's KPI. My work includes:
• Deep Player Clustering - developed a stable clustering framework using several clustering techniques to segment players across 5 business critical categories, showing trackable and actionable results long term.
• Churn Model - developed a model that can predict 91% of the players that will churn. Initiatives based on the results of this model are consistently reducing 14 day churn by at least 1.5%. 
• Analyzing A/B testing results taking previous user behavior into account and giving confidence intervals. 
• Aiding new games with early retention and user behavior analysis.
