An engineer leader with strategic thinking, passion both user facing products and technical challenges, and strong empathy.
Grew a team from 15 to 40+, currently managing 3 teams with 40+ engineers:
* User Protection, which ensure age coverage, age accuracy, and provide protection for TikTok young users.
* User Data Subject Rights, which fulfills data subject rights defined by GDPR, such as data access, data portability, with user facing products (e.g. Download Your Data), efficiency tools, as well as centralized user data platform.
* Privacy Policy Framework, which provide a unified policy enforcement framework with boosted efficiency, reliability and transparency.
Key Projects:
* Change Registration Region, which, as part of data sovereignty effort, allows users switch region from/to isolated regions like US. It requires heavy collaboration with 50+ business lines with 100 POCs across the entire TikTok.
* US State Laws. Since 2023, each US state starts to enforce their own customized laws protecting teens/children. Our team takes the lead to fulfill all requirements from age, location, family pairing, parent concent, access control of user facing features, and many more minor protection related features.
* User Data Platform, which is an efficient and compliant service serves as a middleware between business teams who owns user data, and a handful of privacy products who provide user data access to external parties (user, legal request, researcher, etc.)
- Privacy Consumer Experience (2020.1 - 2022.9)
* Explored directions of privacy data controls & developed solutions that can resolve people privacy problems and re-build trust between Meta and users
* Led an engineer team to generalize/standardize data de-identification technologies and support company-wide needs. Data de-identification is a cutting edge technology as an alternative of data deletion, which is more efficient and reliable but still compliance with privacy laws.
- Goodwill (2017.2 - 2020.1)
helped build highly scalable, reliable, efficient and cost-effective backend services to power personalized products which show care to FB users, e.g. Personalized Videos, Memories, Culture Moments, Weather, Tips, etc.
