**Objective**
Our customer is building a customer engagement platform for responsible gambling operators. 
The platform should support games for years after they’re in the hands of gamers worldwide. The team works closely with the game development, business, and internal service teams to produce insights and models that enable us to make the most epic gamer experiences. 

We start with deep data analysis to understand our customers, their objectives, and any issues they might have. We then use various data points and advanced machine learning algorithms, to come up with the best possible option for each client. We experiment, iterate, and build fully automated solutions, based on algorithms that self-improve with time.

**Key results**
- Grow CSI to 100%
- Grow % of projects delivered in project terms (margin/deadline/scope) to 100%

**Challenges & responsibilities**
