Summary
Bharathi T is a machine learning engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with over a decade of experience building high-impact ML systems across Ads, recommendations, and misinformation detection. She has driven revenue-facing ads initiatives at Instagram and Facebook—delivering double-digit surface gains and multi-percent overall product uplifts—while leading end-to-end migrations of retrieval and ranking stacks from TensorFlow to PyTorch at Roblox. Her work spans deep learning model design (two-tower, DCNv2, transformer-based entity representations), platformization of serving and calibration, and early-stage retrieval and signal mining for cold-start problems. At Facebook she co-launched hoax detection and similarity infrastructure for election misinformation across multiple countries, blending research rigor with production robustness. Comfortable in Python, PyTorch, SQL and scikit-learn, she combines technical leadership with hands-on delivery and a background in graph theory and cryptography from her academic research.
