I build scalable copyright compliance and trust-and-safety platforms for large content ecosystems.

At Pinterest, I led the zero-to-one development of an audio copyright compliance platform spanning a 100M+ video corpus, integrating Audible Magic music detection.

I designed a scalable Zen graph model connecting video signatures, track metadata, licensing rights, and user notifications. It enabled new-video ingestion within minutes and product decisions within seconds.

I also launched Pinterest’s first rights-holder Content Claiming Portal, supporting 1,000+ rights-holder users and 50M+ claimed Pins through scalable claims, rights-management, and abuse-prevention workflows.

Earlier, at Akamai Technologies, I built a configurable data-collection and cleansing pipeline for a recommendation engine. I also build Python-based optimization, compiler, and real-time market-intelligence tooling.
