Worked closely with platform teams to acquire job and candidate data from external sources, transforming, enriching, and scoring for risk and quality. Promoted twice starting as a Product Manager to the current position as Senior Manager of Product Management with four direct reports. - Led a cross-functional team of Product Analysts and Product Managers focused on improving the use of analysis and insights in the product prioritization process. This team was responsible for deep technical analysis that required a combination of Python, SQL, and automation techniques to prototype the tooling needed to consolidate and analyze data from disparate systems. - Transitioned legacy fraud systems into a modern fraud platform that balanced the automation of expert rules with supervised machine learning, and external quality auditing. Identified and eliminated over 1MM fraudulent profiles over the course of 6mo and created a safety net that significantly reduced the cycle time for identifying and preventing profile fraud. - Transitioned legacy profile platform collection system to a modern solution that leverages graph databases to aggregate social profiles and integrate them into our existing user base. The system processes nearly 130MM profiles on a quarterly basis, resulting in a 32% increase in integrated user profiles that increases the value of a profile approximately 15% per view. - Introduced a quality and enrichment pipeline into the job posting collection system, which processes roughly 200K job postings monthly. This enhancement allowed the company to introduce machine learning classification models that identify and filter low quality job postings to protect the candidate search experience. Dice was publicly recognized for our efforts by the EEOC in March `23 on Hrdrive.com.
