Director of Engineering / Data Science
Led and grew a team of Product Data Scientists focused on information extraction and relevance problems. Established and grew Query Understanding team, complementing ranking... more by helping searchers express their information needs as effectively and efficiently as possible. Delivered entity-based search suggestions in typeahead, query rewriting to improve precision, and suggested facet-based refinements. Led Search Quality team, responsible for Query Understanding and Search Relevance.
Tech Lead, Local Search
I worked in local search quality, leading the team that matched the local search index against the web index to establish the official home pages of local businesses. Not... more only do these URLs show up for all searches with local intent (so they'd better be right!), but they're also used by Google's web search algorithms to determine whether the searcher has local intent. We made significant improvements in precision and coverage by developing better machine learning features and models.

Founding employee. As engineer, I developed features that revolutionized interactive information retrieval and exploratory search for enterprises. Led small team that developed... more novel techniques for entity extraction and query performance prediction. Also led efforts around intellectual property -- which included successfully defending the company against patent trolls. Endeca was acquired by Oracle in 2011 for $1.1B.
