Building Payment Personalization and Recommendation Systems

• Contributed to the development and launch of a real-time ranking and decisioning system that predicts purchase likelihood using identity, funding readiness, and friction signals to optimize checkout completion under strict latency constraints

• Supported scaling from pilot to enterprise adoption enabling xxB+ recommendations in 7 months and $xxM+ in annualized transaction impact

• Delivered up to +xx% lift in checkout completions for merchants through controlled experiments, partnering with Eng, ML, UX, and Data Science to define signals and evaluation metrics

• Conceptualized a lightweight, OS-level payment intelligence signal that reduce merchant integration friction, accelerate GTM, top-of-funnel adoption

I mentored over 150+ Master’s students at the Fung Institute for Engineering Leadership, focusing on effective communication and storytelling for their diverse projects. These projects span critical fields such as Climate Change, Scalable AI/ML, Robotics, and Wearable Devices. My role involved assisting them in conveying complex technical concepts in a clear and compelling manner.

Most importantly I ended up learning a lot from the students!

0→1 product experience building a commerce personalization platform as an early team member (3rd hire)

• Defined the Identity Score framework, a unified, real-time confidence metric that synthesizes multiple identification signals to determine user identity quality and serve as the foundation for downstream personalization use cases

• Aligned cross-functional teams (Product, ML, Identity, Platform) on scoring principles, signal weighting, and guardrails, enabling consistent decision-making across presentment and checkout personalization.

Grateful for the exposure and the opportunity to learn from an exceptional cross-functional team and genuinely inspiring leaders!
