Senior🎓
Top SchoolTiffany Zhu is a software engineer specializing in machine learning with nine years of experience building data-driven products across education, enterprise, and consumer tech. Currently at Instagram, she combines rigorous academic training (MS in Data Science from Columbia, BS from Carnegie Mellon) with practical expertise in Python and R to move models from prototype to production. Her background includes applied ML and open-source contributions at IBM—where she helped maintain ParData and created course content—and engineering work that powered degree-audit systems for higher education. Tiffany’s experience spans industries from manufacturing to airlines and even aerospace internships, giving her a knack for translating complex domain problems into scalable solutions. She’s as comfortable scripting numerical simulations as she is designing end-to-end ML pipelines, and she brings a strong sense of pedagogy to technical work, having built training materials and sample applications for broader teams.
