Work Experience

Intern in Data Analytics @ Alphabet Inc.

Mountain View, CA Mar 2023 – Jun 2023

• Implemented efficient pipelines for preprocessing large datasets with 1m lines and ensured data integrity. Developed a double-tower recommendation model adapted from recent Recommendation System research papers with Recall@10 of 78.2%. Built real-world simulation with a node.js based App interface that generate movie suggestions with detailed information for registered user.
• Engineered new embeddings by analyzing user-item interaction data based on statistical distributions. Applied different levels to varying lengths of watching history, resulting in a 2.3% increase in benchmark accuracy. Achieved an accuracy of 79.3% on Recall10, demonstrating effective learning and robust generalization.
