I own the Google Search Ads Serving stack, where I lead a multi year project to use Gemini AI to
automate over 60% of 2000+ legacy modules to a new execution framework by defining the strategy
and leading adoption across 5000+ SWEs through Fixits and specialized training. This added $10x
billions in annual revenue and saved X ms (~20%) in latency so far.
Added filtering capability to the ads serving stack based on special search operators such as
negation. This led to improved user experience and increase in revenue by $10x million
Designed and implemented a validation system for a critical ad serving data contract that eliminated an entire class of high-impact production failures by enforcing data integrity at both build-time and runtime.
