Turning fragmented compute demand into a forecasting platform that helped chip teams and leaders plan infrastructure investment.

AN EXPLANATORY VIEW

See demand before it becomes a constraint.

Forecasting turned infrastructure planning from a spreadsheet exercise into a scenario the team could discuss.

SCHEMATIC · NOT PRODUCTION DATA
01 / THE SITUATION

Start with the
actual problem.

Capacity planning was a four-week spreadsheet exercise. By the time the forecast arrived, the picture had already changed. Too little compute could delay engineering work; too much meant hardware sitting idle. The challenge was a shared model that could connect individual chip programs to organization-wide investment decisions.

02 / THE DECISIONS

The work behind
the outcome.

01

Make the hierarchy the common language.

I owned the recursive model specification: Organization → Function → Subsystem → Project. A common structure let people roll up and drill down across 130+ programs without rebuilding the logic for each view.

02

Bring the roadmap into the forecast.

I built Python pipelines around LSF job logs and milestones and partnered with data science on forecasting features. The engine combined time-series extrapolation with project-milestone changes.

03

Let leaders ask “what if?”

I built Java/Spring Boot simulation services for concurrent roadmap scenarios. Executive mockups and integration work with engineering divisions helped validate that those scenarios supported real planning decisions.

04 / MY CONTRIBUTION

Hands on.
People with me.

I owned product definition, the backlog, and the data-model specification while building pipelines and simulation services. I partnered with data science, engineering divisions, and executive users to take the platform through launch.

05 / WHAT CHANGED

What came out of it.

The platform supported approximately $4M in annual infrastructure savings and approximately 90% forecast accuracy over a two-year horizon. Capital planning fell from four weeks to two. These are platform outcomes achieved through the wider team’s work.

CONTEXT & LIMITS

The platform and its underlying business data are internal. The diagram is an explanatory reconstruction, not a production screenshot or a disclosure of forecast data.

THE EARLIER CHAPTER

Before forecasting: make the infrastructure move.

My broader Qualcomm work ran from January 2023 to August 2025. Earlier, I built migration workflow services, Python dependency checks, and ServiceNow integrations across 12+ teams. That separate platform delivered 40% faster transitions and 60% fewer mid-transition failures. As an intern, I also worked on developer automation and a migration of 50+ containerized applications.
