# Denisse Damian 👩‍💻 > Solutions @ Databricks | Founder @ Your Best Friend in Tech | Angel Investor Location: Seattle, Washington, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/denissedamian Senior Solutions Engineer at Databricks. ML infrastructure nerd. Founder of a tech community with 6,000+ engineers across 10+ countries. And your most honest friend in tech. I started Your Best Friend in Tech after realizing most early-career engineers are studying LeetCode the same broken way I wasm random problems, no structure, maximum panic. A competitive programmer showed me there's a system. I landed multiple offers. One startup created a role just for me. Now I help early-career engineers do the same, without needing a competitive programmer in their personal life. Every other Thursday I send LeetCode patterns, interview strategies, and real career advice for engineers trying to break in.

Leveraging AWS SageMaker, I designed and deployed a highly scalable multi-model endpoint that enabled the services to predict customer delivery times with high accuracy. Monitoring: Successfully led the effort to rename StatsD to better leverage Datadog services. My responsibilities included collaborating with cross-functional teams, developing a plan to refactor the codebase, and ensuring seamless migration to the new naming convention. ### Master of Engineering with a concentration in Data Science @ University of California, Berkeley Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Berkeley, California, Estados Unidos Fung Excellence Scholarship Recipient Relevant Coursework: Parallel Computing, Experimental Design for Machine Learning on Multimedia Data Relevant Projects: Political Inclination Prediction Model Developed a Logistic Regression model using Scikit learn with a 98.3% accuracy that predicted the political inclination of all of the U.S. counties based on COVID-19 hygiene habits. Used PCA and Correlation Matrix to determine the most relevant variables. Analysis Neural Network Models for Chromatin Feature Prediction Analyzed the DanQ model that predicts chromatin features directly from raw DNA sequence. Calculated the Memory Equivalent Capacity of the model. Trained the model for generalization, which identified that a vanilla neural network differed only by 2% of accuracy from the original model that contained a CNN and a bidirectional LSTM. ### Lead Graduate Student Instructor @ University of California, Berkeley Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Berkeley, California, Estados Unidos Taught graduate students the fundamentals of data analysis and visual representation of data on Tableau. Guided MBA and MPP students in representing findings through visualizations made in Excel and Tableau. ### Site Reliability Engineer @ Wizeline Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 Develop scalable, elegant infrastructure as code using Terraform in order to manage and automate multi-platform cloud services to obtain a .0001% downtime for the largest catalog company in Latin America. Responsible for the implementation and maintenance of architecture hosted in GCP. Created Jenkins pipelines to build, tag, and push customized Docker images. Experience in creating and maintaining AWS User Accounts, Security Groups, VPC, Route 53, DynamoDB, RDB, SNS, SQS, and AWS storage services. ### Sales Associate @ Ennya Beauty Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Monterrey y alrededores, México Represented Mexico and Ennya Beauty in a trade mission in: Perú, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia and Panama ### Internship @ Ternium Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | Monterrey y alrededores, México Developed an API in JavaScript as the back-end for an application that delivered real time location to track employees inside a factory. The API established communication with Cisco API to obtain the latitude and longitude of employees and stored it in MongoDB, it also established communication with MySQL to provide the name, age, and type of worker. ### Summer Engineering Intern @ Twitter Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | Bahía de San Francisco y alrededores, Estados Unidos Developed a RESTful Web Service with JAX- RS with an object oriented structure in Java with a client/server architecture. The Web Service used the Twitter DM API to consume and produce responses via direct messages to verify the functionality of DM Bots. The Web Service was locally deployed in Tomcat and publicly in Heroku. ## Education ### Master of Engineering - MEng in Machine Learning University of California, Berkeley ### Bachelor's degree in Information Management Rennes School of Business ### Bachelor of Engineering - BE in Computer Science Tecnológico de Monterrey ### Ingeniería en Tecnologías Computacionales in Ingeniería informática Tecnológico de Monterrey ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/denisse-damian - Website: https://denisse.ai --- Source: https://flows.cv/denissedamian JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/denissedamian/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-29
