  • Designed and launched the “Complete the Look” recommendation feature using vision and text transformers, deep neural networks, and reinforcement learning agents, significantly boosting user engagement, conversion rates, and browsing time.
  • Built a promotional impact model employing causal inference and advanced statistical techniques, with automated data workflows and retraining orchestrated via Apache Airflow for scalable, repeatable analysis.
  • Developed and maintained robust ML pipelines for our internal platform, MODE, enabling personalized recommendation models, image similarity models, and segmentation models.
  • Deployed open-source LLMs (Llama) to automate the generation of high-quality product copy for fashion items, streamlining content creation for copywriting teams.
  • Established ML infrastructure best practices by implementing CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, Docker containerization, Kubernetes orchestration, MLflow for experiment tracking, and Airflow-driven workflow automation—ensuring reliable, reproducible, and efficient deployment of machine learning solutions at scale.

Sr Data Scientist

Omnicom Group
New York
09.2018 - 07.2021
  • Developed the Viral Prediction Score (VPS) for the Facebook Ad team by experimenting with and benchmarking advanced time series models (Prophet, ARIMA, VAR), and custom ensemble techniques to accurately quantify and forecast the viral potential of social media content.
  • Engineered and maintained AI-driven platforms (e.g., Sparks & Honey’s Q), applying cutting-edge research in model retraining, drift detection, and performance monitoring, using MLOps tools such as MLflow for robust automation.
  • Explored and implemented advanced NLP methods—including topic modeling, aspect-based sentiment analysis, and multimodal (image-text) classification—to generate actionable insights and automate content categorization for major consumer brands.
  • Implemented applied research and prototyping of deep learning models for fine-grained fashion attribute extraction through combination of object detection and image classification with advanced methodologies like ontology-guided supervised contrastive learning and multimodal (image-text) representation learning, meticulously evaluating cutting-edge algorithms to boost attribute recognition accuracy and facilitate large-scale product tagging.
