From May 2020 to June 2020 (2 months) Brooklyn, New York, United StatesSenior Software Engineer @ HVN Engineer building data pipelines and conducting spatiotemporal analysis with those pipelines. Also involved in improving search infrastructure and algorithms, performance engineering, and developing engineering culture. From March 2019 to April 2020 (1 year 2 months) New York, United StatesChief Technology Officer & Founder @ otto hearing • Developed software to improve the listening experience for people with hearing impairments. Built an at home hearing test capable of augmenting standard audiogram with information about sensitivity / dynamic range.• Utilized hearing test results to adapt the output of a computer in real time to match hearing impairment. Explored methods (ML and classical DSP based) to improve perceptual qualities of music including predictive dynamic range compression, multiband FIR filter design, adaptive Q bandpass filters, and deep differentiable DSP. From February 2019 to March 2020 (1 year 2 months) Greater New York City AreaLead Data Scientist / Data Engineer @ Predata • Developed regularized hierarchical time-series regression + classification models using techniques from robust/causal inference for prediction of political events from web traffic metadata.• Developed unsupervised time-series models (anomaly detection, decomposition) utilizing techniques from network theory and knowledge graph engineering in response to business need for interpretable models.• Built high-cardinality time-series data warehouse with 500M time series (>1E13 points) per commodity instance.• Maintained and rearchitected data pipeline, cutting compute cost per model of nightly processing by ~10x.• Developed processes and pipeline for repeatable, measurable data science experiments, cutting data science and analysis iterations from weeks to days.• Managed data science/engineering organization, growing it from 1 to 6 people. Championed data quality, EDA, and statistical rigor across the company. From May 2015 to April 2018 (3 years) Greater New York City AreaForward Deployed Engineer @ Palantir Technologies • Led a team that developed and E2E product that utilized gradient boosting and mixed-integer linear programming to allow non-technical users to specify constraints and preferences interactively to optimize television advertising scheduling to maximize viewership through a user-friendly interface.• Initiated cultural and process changes through feedback to management. More details on request. From August 2014 to May 2015 (10 months) Greater New York City AreaSoftware Engineer @ Poptip (acquired by Palantir Aug 2014) • Architected real-time non-parametric Bayesian topic models for detecting changes in themes in Twitter streams.• Implemented data pipeline running NER, spam detection, and other NLP tasks on up to >100k tweets per minute. From September 2013 to August 2014 (1 year) Greater New York City AreaCo-Founder / CTO @ beertending • Built faceted search engine and qualitative recommender system for beer. • Developed business model and platform for crowd-sourced craft beer happy hours.
