I've worked at Meta for the last few years on a variety of teams. Right now, I am working mostly on Instagram Search, specifically on Retrieval and Query Understanding problems. We are trying to make our platform the best content search in industry. Before then, I bootstrapped the monetization efforts for conversion and user quality models in Marketing Messages on Whatsapp. My initial role in Meta was working at Meta AI, on Modern Recommendation Systems. I've worked on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) at Facebook and Instagram scale for a variety of recommendation systems. I helped with some testing automation in Iron Man VR too, never thought I'd show up on a game credits!

I worked for Palo Alto Insight, writing software to help deploy machine learning based solutions, and automate workflows with AI. We were offering consulting services mostly in data analysis and ML for vision to companies who needed it.

I spent 7 years working at Red Hat, working on Red Hat Insights, a tool for continuous analysis of your applications to predict risk, recommend actions and track costs in a hybrid cloud setting. My first 4 years there, I worked on the Foreman project and Satellite, which were the best options out there for hybrid cloud+bare metal management.

I spent 2 years working at CERN acting as liason between different Open Source projects (Puppet, Foreman and others) and our lab needs.
