Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLinda Lu is a seasoned data scientist with a decade of experience applying rigorous, truth-seeking analytics to prevent fraud and abuse at scale. Currently at Lyft, she translates complex data into product and policy changes that measurably reduce risk; earlier roles at Capital One show hands-on ownership of ML models, cloud migrations (Snowflake), and defenses that prevented multimillion-dollar losses. She combines product sensibility—having owned portfolios and growth initiatives—with technical depth, including back-end and test-automation contributions to the high-profile Envoy proxy project to improve route validation and coverage. Comfortable partnering across engineering, operations, and business teams, she also has experience leading and training large cohorts on fraud strategy and investigations. Linda’s background in business strategy and strong quantitative training (IB 41, commerce and business administration) gives her a rare blend of analytical rigor and practical execution. Colleagues rely on her to turn ambiguous problems into prioritized roadmaps and defensible, production-ready solutions.
