Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBruce Garro is a founder and engineering leader with 12 years of experience building product-focused ML and full-stack systems at startups and Meta. He blends hands-on software development, data science, and product strategy—leading integrity-focused ML features at Facebook that improved DAU and reduced harmful content impressions, and building Octane’s first credit models that supported $200M+ in loan originations. As a repeat early employee and manager he has scaled teams, recruited across functions, and remained deeply technical owning architecture, inference serving, and security hardening. More recently he founded App Vulture, an ASO AI platform helping indie developers find market gaps, while freelancing on AI agents and surgical education platforms. Equally comfortable shipping backend systems and collaborating on ML research, he brings an applied-math background (Columbia Engineering) and a track record of turning complex models into production impact. An unusual strength: he consistently pairs product metrics leadership with low-level system work—from model deployment to OS/network security compliance.
