Tony Yu is a data scientist with 11 years of experience who currently drives monetization strategy and experimentation for advertisers at Instagram/Meta. He combines a strong academic foundation in data science and mathematical statistics with hands-on production ML and MLOps experience from retail to ad tech, having built churn and category-preference models and foundational customer segmentation used across major brands. Tony has led small teams to deliver applied computer vision products (saving dentists an estimated $15M annually) and launched productivity apps like findtimeframe.com to standardize retail date analysis, showing a penchant for practical tooling beyond core modeling. Comfortable translating ambiguous business questions into robust experiments and VP-level dashboards, he balances product-facing metrics with scalable engineering. Based in Cupertino and active in open source and knowledge sharing, he brings both strategic vision and the technical depth to move models from prototype to impact.
