Top SchoolDiego Sánchez is a Machine Learning Engineer with 10+ years of cross-functional experience spanning QA, data engineering, backend systems, and production ML, currently leading business integrity efforts at Meta. He has repeatedly delivered high-impact solutions—ranging from federated learning and on-device LLM fine-tuning to reinforcement-learning and optimization-based detection systems—that collectively prevented hundreds of millions in revenue leakage and enabled tens of millions in business value. Comfortable across Python, TypeScript, Java, Go and cloud platforms (GCP/AWS), he architects scalable batch and streaming pipelines using Beam, DataFlow, Airflow and modern infra like Terraform. Diego pairs research rigor (MSc in Computer Science) and academic teaching experience with hands-on product migrations and system rewrites that improved reliability, observability, and developer productivity. He is an active open-source author (TRUNAJOD, py-logic) and an applied NLP practitioner who has built novelty solutions such as gibberish-email detectors and federated CV/next-word models. Based in Seattle, he combines practical engineering leadership with a penchant for turning NLP and ML research into production-grade defenses against fraud and compromise.
