Shiv Saini

Principal Research Scientist

Bangalore

I work in the areas of time series modelling and causal inference in observational data. I have applied these tools for modelling user behavior, marketing attribution root cause analysis, and anomaly detection. My recent research focuses on developing techniques to improve reliability of micro services by forecasting future outages and reducing time to detect root cause of ongoing outages.
