I served as both an individual contributor, where I designed and implemented large scale ML products used in consumer publishing, and also as force multiplier, where I strove to both learn from and empower other machine learning engineers and data scientists. Some highlights● Tech lead on audience segmentation machine learning platform modeling 1000+ segments. Built with Python and Pyspark, deployed with Docker, running on AWS EC2, and orchestrated with Airflow● Lead design and development on streaming NLP pipeline for content embeddings and classification. Built with Spark streaming, PyTorch, and Databricks feature store● Reduce operational costs by 56% by aligning with stakeholder needs, reducing network traffic, and tuning compute usage● Implement data validations to ensure data integrity on model inputs and outputs● Improved organizational best practices by automating CI/CD with running unit and integrations tests and automated deployments to all stages of the SDLC ● Improved dev tooling by streamlining sandbox deployments and environments, versioning metadata RDS table management, resource tagging, and relentless process tracking● Assist in growing the data organization team, conducting interviews across all levels for both machine learning engineer and data scientist roles● Program lead for Data Science internship for 2 years. I mentored rising seniors through how work works, from project planning, design, implementation, and delivery. I also served as career coach, and a mentor for navigating the workplace ● Onboard and mentor junior engineers in engineering best practices, maintainable code, scalable solutions, project ownership, and decision making
