  • Manage and resolve critical escalations and exceptions in all areas of the capacity planning
  • Build linear programming models to perform simulation and optimization studies of demand and supply projections, scenario planning, and feasibility analysis while balancing various constraints
  • Work cross-functionally to define problem statements, collect data, build analytical models and make recommendations to drive change and optimization at the most strategic levels
  • Partner across Infra: such as platform teams, operations, networking planning, data center planning as well as Product and Finance teams to find the most optimal ways to scale our Infrastructure
