Trust & Safety· Built infrastructure that powers company-wide manual content moderation > Effectively worked with a dozen engineering & XFN clients to understand and solve their problems· Rating: Greatly Exceeds > E4

Azure· Designed and implemented the notifications system for Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps· Built the backend on top of C# .NET and Azure Storage and Cloud Services· Built the frontend using partly ASP.NET MVC with Razor, mostly AngularJS with Typescript. Played with HTML and CSS with our design team to achieve their vision for the product

Search· Leveraged large-scale machine learning for user modeling applied in Twitter user search· Apache Pig with Hadoop to experiment with feature selection and prepare the data· Bash, Python and proprietary Java ML library for model training and evaluation

Search· Developed an article quality signal for Google News front page ranking· Bash, Python and Google Charts for offline experiments with news data· C++ to implement the article annotator that computes the signal and update scoring

· Organized a Tech Talk | https://slides.com/gorangasic/deck· Supported students through resume review and interview coaching

Search· Developed features and algorithms to optimize photo search ranking & performance· Implemented a number of ranking signals such as the language detected from photo metadata· Developed an algorithm to diversify the photo search results with respect to multiple features extracted from photo metadata· Leveraged the limited query and photo metadata to catch the most common privacy check failures in the backend and filter such search results — this dramatically reduced the number of results returned to the frontend where full privacy checks take place, thus improving overall query throughput· C++, Python and Hive. Bits of PHP for frontend hacks

· Run by the X.FER student organization, a group of friends who competed throughout high school and college — we introduce the students to the programming contest culture

Programming and Software Engineering Algorithms and Data Structures· Instructed laboratory sessions and graded homework

· Annual series of international online contests open to everyone· Widely used to prepare students for the International Olympiad in Informatics
