With over a decade of experience in applied data science and a PhD in Statistics, I have led large-scale experimentation and identity resolution initiatives that directly improved advertising performance and measurement accuracy. My expertise in causal inference, machine learning, and cross-functional leadership aligns perfectly with Reddit's mission to build trusted, privacy-centric ad solutions. I am particularly excited by the opportunity to shape Reddit's ads measurement infrastructure and drive strategic direction on signal quality. I look forward to bringing my technical rigor and collaborative spirit to Reddit's mission-driven team. Copy Sample interview questionsHow would you design a privacy-preserving identity resolution model that links on-platform and off-platform actions while maintaining advertiser value?I would start by clearly defining the addressability goals and privacy constraints. Using a probabilistic approach, I would build a graph-based model with features like device IDs, cookies, and user behavior, applying differential privacy or k-anonymity where needed. I would validate the graph using ground truth datasets and measure the incremental lift in ad performance, iterating with engineering to ensure scalability and compliance. Describe a time you improved an experimentation methodology at scale. What statistical challenges did you address? In a previous role, I led the transition from simple A/B tests to sequential testing with continuous monitoring, reducing false positives in a high-velocity experimentation platform. I implemented variance reduction using CUPED, managed multiple testing corrections, and built guardrail metrics to track user harm. This improved the accuracy and speed of decision-making across dozens of concurrent experiments. How do you quantify the incremental value of a new data signal for predictive bidding models? I would define the counterfactual: compare model performance with and without the new signal using offline evaluation on historical data, with metrics like lift in ROC-AUC or calibration. Then I would run simulation tests to measure downstream impact on bidding efficiency and ROAS. I would also calculate the cost of acquiring and processing the signal to determine net value. What framework would you use to define ground truth for ad attribution and identity validation? I would use a combination of approaches, including purchase data from advertisers (deterministic when available), panel-based ground truth, and synthetic benchmarks. For evaluation, I would design objective functions that balance precision and recall for identity linkage, and use holdout sets to measure incremental impact on conversion lift. I would iterate by comparing model outputs against known true matches and analyzing failure modes. How would you influence product and engineering partners to adopt a new measurement strategy? I would start by understanding their goals and constraints, then use data to demonstrate the value, such as showing improved ROAS or reduced measurement bias. I would create a clear implementation roadmap, involve engineers early in design, and communicate results through simple, compelling narratives. I would also provide tooling and documentation to lower friction, and champion wins through metrics reviews and leadership updates. Reddit is a community of communities.
