Raghuveer Chanda is a Senior Research Engineer with 11 years of experience building end-to-end ML systems that power personalization and ad ranking across YouTube’s Player, Feed, Shorts, and multiple advertising verticals. He has driven millions in incremental advertiser value by shipping up-to-date user representations at scale, bridging research and production as a tech lead at Google and now at Google DeepMind. Trained at Carnegie Mellon in ML/AI for recommender systems and NLP, he combines rigorous academic foundations with practical deployment experience. Early work at Visa on transaction anomaly detection and contributions to open-source time-series tooling (implementing Holt-Winters models for spark-timeseries) reflect his strength in both statistical modeling and distributed systems. Based in Mountain View, he excels at translating complex research into revenue-driving product features across large, real-time platforms. Colleagues describe him as someone who consistently closes the loop from prototype to production while keeping models robust and interpretable.
