Summary
Amelia Ying is a Machine Learning Engineer in San Francisco with eight years of experience designing and shipping production ML systems across AWS, TikTok, and startups. She builds end-to-end pipelines—from data collection and annotation tooling to scalable training, deployment, and monitoring—having increased model-driven metrics like NER detection by 75% and recommendation interaction rates by up to 6–100% in web products. At AWS she led the SageMaker Example Notebooks open-source project, built multi-region data serving and LLM-based insight pipelines for 200+ services, and implemented telemetry and A/B testing that substantially improved product visibility. Comfortable in both research and production settings, she has optimized distributed Spark and PyTorch pipelines to process tens of millions of records and cut inference/ETL costs dramatically. Amelia’s background in mechanical and nuclear engineering informs a pragmatic systems approach—she invents low-cost vision solutions and internal tools that accelerate team productivity and data quality.
