Chime, the leader in the U.S. challenger banking segment, helps members avoid bank fees, save money automatically, and lead healthier financial lives.
Lead SWE, ML Platform (2021 - 2023)
o Led ML Platform architecture, supporting team of ~15 eng.
o Built tooling to enable self-serve model development (DS experience) and deployment (batch and realtime orchestration).
o All of Chime's 20+ models developed, deployed & supported by our platform.
Founding ML Engineer (2019 - 2020)
Founding engineer of Data Science & Machine Learning team at Chime.
o Developed & deployed the first production ML model at Chime to automate mobile check reviews. ML model auto-accepts $xM of checks (xx% by count) from customers every day without agent
review at better-than-agent performance.
o Developed and shipped Feature Store to enable realtime models. Enables fetching 100s of features in
10ms latency and realtime inference in <200ms p95. Directly led to $xxM reduction in fraud losses
and ATO.
o Implemented tooling to enable Data Science team members to build and launch batch models.

Interpretable Machine Learning modeling for user task understanding and search re-engagement.
Developed, evaluated and productized unsupervised Machine Learning based models to identify user tasks (e.g. Car buying, Wedding Planning, etc.), label them and use them across various Google surfaces. Developed algorithms and workflows for running training and inference on massive (multiple petabytes) Google user activity data. The products powered by the models have received press converge from Google, Mashable, Engadget, AndroidPolice, CNet and many more.

Worked on Adaptive Brightness and Adaptive Battery features in Android P. Designed and implemented the Machine Learning algorithm, android framework APIs, and all the other infrastructure changes (like data pipelines, testing and evaluation framework) to enable this feature.
The features were launched in Android P. Adaptive brightness leads to ~20% reduction in slider interactions and Adaptive battery leads to ~30% reduction in CPU app wakeups. Both features were prominently highlighted in Google's Android P launch and received extensive press coverage.
