- Worked cross-function B2C/B2B to create a sponsored placements ads product for independent hotels to allow individual owners to purchase sponsored slots on TripAdvisor lists. Launched in January 2020, new product quickly overtook existing sponsored products for independents in both signup and revenue.- Helped implement Machine Learning models, delivered by Data Scientists, at scale on our B2C hotels lists. Work cross-team with Data Science, Product, Analytics, and Platform teams to decrease delivery time, reduce bugs and delays for A/B model testing, and to empower data scientists to own end-to-end model delivery. By gathering requirements from our primary stakeholders (Data Science), I was able to develop tooling and support that they needed to use our system themselves. Additionally, optimized model live-loading which reduced model errors from 10% to near-0.
