Experience

Senior Data Scientist

Current

Snap Inc.

Owned data infrastructure for Snapchat's AI chatbot, and built it from scratch: storage and pipelines for chat data under strict privacy, legal, and security requirements. That infrastructure is still the org's source of truth for engagement, quality, and safety reporting. - Turned a classification approach built for one product into a company-wide framework spanning text, image, and video, then got it approved by finance and legal for reuse. Teams across search quality, ads relevance, and maps evaluation now build on it instead of starting from scratch. - Built and ran the quality and safety evaluation process for the product, including a human-labeling review workflow and a validation standard now used to check ML model outputs against a shared benchmark dataset. -Weighed vendor LLM cost and control against flexibility, then moved a keyword-expansion pipeline to self-deployed open-source models. That cut cost and let me rebuild the tool to support multiple LLM providers.
