I am currently a Senior Engineering Manager at Uber, where I lead a team of engineers and scientists that work on improving the user experience and engagement across Uber's products and services. Prior to joining Uber, I was an Engineering Leader at Amazon, where I was the engineering and product lead for a team of scientists, engineers, and product managers. We used machine learning to create personalized recommendations for millions of customers across Amazon's e-commerce platforms. We also built and deployed systems and algorithms that helped prevent fraud and abuse on Amazon's marketplace.
