About Yubo Z.
I am a machine learning engineer with experience building large-scale ranking and recommendation systems, particularly in the ads and personalization domain.Over the past decade I’ve worked on machine learning systems that operate at internet scale, focusing on deep learning, representation learning, and high-performance ML infrastructure.Outside of engineering, I am deeply passionate about fingerstyle guitar and acoustic instrument design. I have long been fascinated by the intersection of physics, signal processing, and musical expression in acoustic systems.After more than ten years of continuous work in the industry, I am currently on a career sabbatical. I’m using this time to recharge, travel, and spend more time exploring long-standing interests — including experimenting with acoustic pickup systems and other music-related projects.I look forward to reconnecting with the ML community and exploring new opportunities later this year.
