Summary
Lu-hao Kuo is a senior data scientist with 8 years of experience building scalable ML systems for high-traffic global products, currently driving model and pipeline reliability at Agoda from Bangkok. He combines statistical rigor and engineering execution across the end-to-end ML lifecycle, including large-scale Spark pipelines, Java/Scala production deployments, and deep learning model tuning. His work has measurably improved business metrics—elevating classifier ROC-AUC, cutting runtimes by 40%, and optimizing ad-bidding to boost ad margins. Previously at Indeed he deployed salary-estimation deep models into production and led 30+ A/B tests that informed product roadmaps and KPI definitions. He holds an MS in Business Analytics from UT Austin and brings a product-minded approach that links causal analysis to long-term user conversion. Notably, he blends hands-on bug-fixing in production services with causal inference to quantify how model accuracy translates into incremental transactions.
