About Chris Pontarolo-Maag
I\'m a software engineer at Meta focused on integrity and scam prevention. I build and scale enforcement and risk mitigation systems, shipping high-impact protections like rate limiting, SMS verification, and abuse defenses that reduce scam prevalence while protecting good experiences for users. I\'ve also modernized integrity infrastructure through rule engine migrations, improved observability, and experiment-driven iteration.Previously, at Amazon I improved the seller experience for a virtual travel marketplace, and at Nike I helped accelerate its digital commerce ecosystem by building tools and infra that supported their machine learning engineers and data scientists. In addition, I built models and pipelines to better understand the behavior of more than 170M members. I\'m excited about applying AI to amplify the impact of products that serve millions of users.Specialties & Interests • Claude and Agentic AI• Python, Hack, Java • Deep Learning, Machine Learning• 4x AWS Certified: Machine Learning - Specialty, Developer and Solutions Architect – Associate, Cloud PractitionerGitHub• github.com/chrispmaag
