About

I love bringing ambitious product visions to life. Over the past decade, I’ve led product at the intersection of ML, design, and systems thinking — from early-stage startups to Big Tech. At Netflix, I rebuilt the homepage ranking stack into a cohesive system powered by a shared foundation model, and reimagined search using LLMs for natural language and conversational discovery. Before that, I led LinkedIn’s AI-driven jobs marketplace – powering recommendations, rethinking incentives (from engagement to hires), and scaling our SMB hiring product to $1B+ in annualized revenue.
