Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHarry Wang is an applied scientist in machine learning with nine years of experience building production ML and deep learning systems across recommendation, ads ranking, NLP, and graph learning. Currently at Amazon after driving CTR/CVR and inference-cost improvements at Pinterest, he blends research-grade modeling (BERT, transformers, contrastive losses, knowledge distillation) with pragmatic engineering (TensorFlow→PyTorch migrations, mixed-precision inference, GPU serving). His academic work at Penn and Michigan produced published research on misinformation detection, stochastic optimization, and graph mining, and he has taught graduate deep learning and AI courses to large cohorts. Comfortable spanning the full ML lifecycle, Harry has shipped multilingual NLU pipelines, large-scale PySpark feature engineering, and production-grade ensemble models. He’s equally at home prototyping novel architectures and optimizing operational cost, and often focuses on stabilizing models in nonstationary (daily-rebasing) environments.
