Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Clifton is a Senior AI/ML Platform Engineer with 12 years of experience delivering high-impact personalization and recommendation systems for digital media and entertainment. He has repeatedly driven measurable user engagement and revenue gains—most notably a +595M annual hours lift at Peacock and sub-50ms inference for Fox Venu—by architecting scalable, low-latency ML pipelines and production-grade MLOps on platforms like Vertex AI, Databricks, and BigQuery. Comfortable leading cross-functional teams, he pairs hands-on model development (TensorFlow/Keras, XGBoost, Spark) with instrumentation and data-governance improvements that make experimentation reliable at scale. Equally at home in strategy and execution, he has a track record of turning statistical insight into new product teams and monetization streams. His background in design and data visualization informs a pragmatic focus on observable, user-facing metrics rather than purely academic benchmarks.
