Summary
Barry Shang is a Director of Machine Learning with 11 years of experience building and leading data and applied science teams across consumer products and infrastructure. He spent nearly a decade at Uber driving personalization, growth, and core funnel ML for the Rider app and now leads ML at Tubi, owning core user experiences and large-scale experimentation. Trained as a chemical engineer with a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, he brings rigorous skills in stochastic modeling, PDEs, and simulation to production ML systems—a background that informs his statistical approach to product experimentation. Barry hires and mentors applied scientists, translating academic rigor into measurable product impact and repeated promotions. He combines deep quantitative research, hands-on engineering, and a knack for practical experimentation design that scales in high-throughput consumer environments.
