Machine Learning Engineer
- Experience - Machine Learning Engineer, FinPay (2022-2025): Built and deployed a fraud detection model in Python (XGBoost) and improved AUC by ~15% compared to the previous approach.
- Experience - Machine Learning Engineer, FinPay (2022-2025): Created feature pipelines in Spark and Airflow to ingest transaction and device data and kept the training data up to date.
- Experience - Machine Learning Engineer, FinPay (2022-2025): Partnered with product and data teams to iterate on model thresholds and reduced chargebacks.
- Project - Personal (2021): Built a recommender system for movie ratings using matrix factorization and neural networks; hosted a demo API with FastAPI.
- Skills/Education: MS Computer Science, UC Davis; Python, SQL, PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Spark, AWS (S3, SageMaker), Docker, Git
Overview
- Add business and production metrics (baseline, timeframe, scale) to make impact credible.
- Clarify ownership and scope (data volume, latency, serving path, monitoring) for deployed systems.
- Tighten bullets with specific technical choices and outcomes; avoid generic collaboration phrasing.
Suggestions
Rewrite to include baseline, dataset scope, and where the model ran in production. Example: "Deployed XGBoost fraud model to real-time scoring service (p95 <120 ms) on ~8M tx/day; improved AUC from 0.74 to 0.85 (+0.11) and cut false positives 9% over 8 weeks."
"AUC by ~15%" is ambiguous (relative vs absolute) and does not show scale or production constraints; adding baseline, throughput, and latency makes the achievement verifiable and ML-engineering relevant.

"Built and deployed a fraud detection model in Python (XGBoost) and improved AUC by ~15% compared to the previous approach."
Specify what you built in the pipeline (feature store vs batch tables), key features, and data freshness/SLA. Example: "Built Spark feature jobs (150+ features) writing to a Parquet feature table; scheduled in Airflow with hourly backfills and 99% on-time runs; reduced training data staleness from 24h to 2h."
The current bullet states tools but not the structure of the pipeline, reliability, or measurable improvement, which are core signals for an MLE.

"Created feature pipelines in Spark and Airflow to ingest transaction and device data and kept the training data up to date."
Make the chargeback impact measurable and connect it to an experiment or decision process. Example: "Ran threshold calibration with product (cost matrix + ROC analysis) and A/B tested policy changes; reduced chargeback rate from 0.42% to 0.36% while holding approval rate within +/-0.2 pp."
"Reduced chargebacks" is the right direction but lacks a metric, timeframe, and tradeoffs; adding an experiment design and constraints shows rigor.

"Partnered with product and data teams to iterate on model thresholds and reduced chargebacks."
Upgrade the project bullet to show evaluation, deployment details, and what is novel. Example: "Trained implicit-feedback recommender (ALS vs two-tower) on MovieLens 20M; improved NDCG@10 from 0.41 to 0.48; deployed FastAPI inference with Docker and basic monitoring (latency + error rate)."
The project lists techniques but not results or why the approach matters; adding metrics and deployment specifics makes it stronger and less generic.

"Built a recommender system for movie ratings using matrix factorization and neural networks; hosted a demo API with FastAPI."
Trim the skills list to what you can defend and align to the role by adding 1-2 deep areas (e.g., model serving/ML ops). Example: "AWS (S3, ECR, ECS/SageMaker), model monitoring (drift, data quality), CI/CD for ML" and remove any you only used briefly.
A long, mixed skills line can read as keyword-stuffing; focusing on relevant, demonstrable skills improves credibility for MLE roles.
