Eric Lybrand is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer at Shopify with 11 years of experience building real-time fraud and credit risk systems for high-volume financial products. He led the development of first-of-its-kind real-time card authorization and graph-embedding merchant fraud models and drove a major refactor of Shopify Capital’s probability-of-default model that enabled multi-market expansion for a multi-billion dollar loan portfolio. A Ph.D. mathematician, he brings research rigor—published work in JMLR and ACHA—into production ML, especially in compressed sensing, quantization, and signal-processing algorithms. Previously at Brex he shipped transaction- and ACH-fraud models and risk policies that materially reduced losses and abuse, and earlier research projects include wireless-based indoor localization and neural-noise simulation with cognitive scientists. He combines academic depth with hands-on ML serving platform design, favoring production-grade, low-latency solutions that operate across the entire customer journey.
