  • Led a team of 75 Data Scientist for improving Gemini Advanced in collaboration with Google Bard’s Implicit Code Execution (ICE) team.
  • Owned model evaluation and error discovery processes. Generated metrics on model correctness and compared the various model versions to achieve a steady improvement. For statistically significant error patterns, reasons were investigated and fix proposals were discussed with the research teams.
  • Recommended and implemented new policies to the model in terms of generating training data to be consumed by SFT processes.
  • Led both high quality throughput RLHF training data generation to further improve the model.
  • Worked on addition of RLMF processes to refine the model using synthetically generated data.
  • Contributed to the establishment of the Machine Learning (ML) Science and Data Analysis foundations + team. Owned various model training -classifiers and recommendation systems- and deployment, the creation of robust validation frameworks to ensure our ML models’ performance is future-proof, and continuous feature engineering to enhance our existing recommendation models, directly improving business metrics.
  • integrated new signals into our models, such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) based feature extraction from unstructured text data.
  • For ML Engineering utilized Docker, ElasticSearch, Google Cloud Platform (VertexAI, BigQuery, GCS), and Uvicorn. While also used ML Frameworks such as Tensorflow, Pytorch, LightGBM, XGBoost, Huggingface, Scikit-Learn, Imblearn, LightFM, and OpenAI API.
  • In my leadership role, I have effectively managed a team of 7 Data Scientists and fostered active collaboration with cross-functional teams across the organization.
