Clickriver.com was an ad network for displaying ads on Amazon.com. It is the equivalent of Google's adwords program.
Initially, I was refining the machine learning systems that automatically identified bad advertisers.
The policing system assures the quality of advertisers who sign up with Clickriver with regard to the range of guidelines specified by the network. It was a part automated and part manual solution. And the challenge was to build a robust workflow system. I redesigned the architecture of this policing system to make it highly generic and at the same time extremely decoupled so that individual components of the system could be re-used.
I was also mainly involved in generating business metrics for this policing system.

Worked as a summer intern for Amazon India Development Center. It was the early stages of Clickriver.com and the work was extremely enjoyable. We had to build things from scratch. My work involved creating web services infrastructure to enable decoupled communication between the systems developed from India and Palo Alto. I also built a prototype for automatic document classification using Weka, with the underlying algorithm being Bayesian Learning.
