Summary
Neuton Foo is a Software Engineer II based in New York with nine years of experience building data-driven web and trust & safety systems, currently focusing on risk and moderation at Etsy. He combines full-stack product work—A/B testing checkout and payments features that drove millions in GMV—with backend reliability improvements for rules engines that surface account and session metadata for automated enforcement. Skilled across React, Redux, TypeScript, PHP, Go, and ML infrastructure, he’s improved observability and reduced false positives by integrating dashboards and LLM-assisted evaluations into moderation workflows. He’s delivered measurable business impact (notably a +1.01% lift in conversion and $12.3M in GMV) while also modernizing internal ML pipelines like a specialized Kubeflow fork. Past roles span startups to enterprise internships, and an early background in operations and SEO gives him a pragmatic, systems-oriented perspective on product and platform tradeoffs.
