Technical Lead

Aug 2016 – Present · 9 yrs 9 mos · Menlo Park, California, United States

  • Tech-lead in Instagram Ads Delivery, Ranking, Quality and Supply Team. Leading a team of more than 10 engineers on various projects ranging from:
  • 1) Ads supply personalization: Personalize ads supply in instagram by balancing the tradeoff between revenue and user sentiment with the app. Figure out ways of ranking ads within organic content of the user to increase overall user ads satisfaction.
  • 2) Ads ranking for long term revenue gains: Most of the ads ranking is done for realizing short term ads conversions. We are working on modifying ads ranking value function to increase long term ads engagement of the user.

  • Besides these, I have worked on a lot of ranking problems for instagram in the past ranging from ads ranking, shopping ranking in feed and stories, generating unconnected recommendable shoppable content for the user, etc.
