Ian Stewart-binks is a senior software engineer with 12 years of experience building large-scale ML and ranking systems across leading AI and consumer platforms. He has worked on Instagram ranking, Oculus AI acceleration, and newsfeed/data infrastructure at Meta, brief stints at Netflix and Airbnb, and currently contributes to post-training systems at Google DeepMind. Ian combines deep algorithmic foundations—demonstrated by teaching third-year algorithms at the University of Toronto—with practical production experience shipping high-throughput, latency-sensitive services. Based in New York, he blends research-adjacent ML engineering with hands-on systems design and has a track record of moving models from prototype to production in high-impact products. An uncommon signal: he was the only non-graduate TA for an advanced algorithms course, underscoring both technical mastery and early teaching aptitude.
