Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Shoaf is a Senior Engineering Manager in San Francisco with nine years of experience building large-scale ML, data, and distributed systems for consumer and enterprise products. He led ML Infra and Data Platform transformations at Roblox—growing platform adoption from zero to 184 DAUs, scaling to 435B events/day while cutting latency and saving millions annually—and previously built end-to-end ML and ETL platforms for airline revenue management at FLYR. Tim combines hands-on algorithmic chops (productionized stochastic optimizers and Monte Carlo frameworks at Amazon, Gaussian Processes in consulting) with product-minded platform leadership, hiring pipelines, and cross-org alignment. He’s repeatedly taken teams and platforms from 0 to 1—spanning feature stores, model registries, real-time pipelines, and AR/VR rendering—and has a knack for operationalizing research into production at scale. An engineer at heart with a BS in EECS from Oregon State, he pairs deep technical fluency across JVM, Spark, Kafka, Kubernetes, and Python with proven talent development and GDPR/compliance leadership.
