Machine Learning & Data Science Leader
Advertising Technology Expert
Building Intelligent Systems at Scale
About Me
With over a decade of experience designing, deploying, and scaling machine learning systems, I specialize in leading high-impact data science initiatives. My work spans hands-on development, technical leadership, and applied research in high-throughput environments. I’ve built and scaled ML platforms, grown and led full-stack data science teams, and operationalized predictive models that deliver over a billion real-time ML predictions per second – turning complex challenges into production-ready solutions.
Extensive expertise in the AdTech sector, where I’ve architected machine learning systems for real-time bidding (RTB) and programmatic advertising, including ML models for click-through rate (CTR) and conversion rate (CVR) prediction. I’ve led the development of ML & Data Science infrastructure for demand-side platform (DSP), integrating online learning algorithms and optimizing post-click performance. These systems power intelligent bidding strategies across millions of auctions per second in latency-critical environments.
