Forecasting & Prediction: Developed representation learning frameworks for high-cardinality categorical features, improving downstream forecast accuracy by 10% and enabling cross-KPI model generalization through transferable latent structure. In addition, built model to deprecate a $6 million/year API with a simple model-based solution.Model Architecture: Designed scalable embedding architectures using locality-sensitive hashing for client and audience representations in high-dimensional feature spaces with millions of categoriesStatistical Analysis \\ & Diagnostics: Built comprehensive model and data diagnostics to detect distribution drift, anomalies, and instability in streaming data; established standardized model validation workflows adopted across teamsResearch Impact: Originated proposal to redefine forecasting targets, influencing ongoing forecasting methodologyTechnical Infrastructure: Implemented distributed training and parallel evaluation on multi-GPU systems for large-scale representation learning and model analysis
