About Emil L.

Most recently at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I used my product manager experience in artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to enhance consumer financial protection. My previous experience as a Product Manager at Airbnb and Twitter, where I honed my skills in product safety and AI/ML, has been instrumental in this role. At Airbnb I developed robust ML pipelines, and deployed strong account security featuers, which directly contributed to the safety and security of the platform. At Twitter I developed ML-powered abuse detection and mitigation systems that significantly reduced abusive behavior across the platform.With a certification in Scientific Computing with Python and a strong background in AI, I am dedicated to implementing advanced technologies to helping the end user.
