Director of Personalization
Built a fully automated set of data processing pipelines, based on Hadoop, that produced Quantcast's prediction products from petabytes of data. Making it an automated, message-driven system reduced the model and campaign startup time from approximately 2 weeks to less than 2 days. It also increased the number of concurrent models being processed by more than five-fold without increasing the number of human operators needed to run it.
