As a data scientist in the privacy services team in the field of Automotive, I conceive, implement and
measure algorithms and methods
for anonymizing and de-anonymizing location data, using statistical models, machine learning and heuristic
search.

Being part of a small team of scientists, I function as the team's DevOps engineer, in addition to my
research tasks. In this role I created and designed the repos's structure, architected the different
modules and how they interact, designed the database schema, deployed multi-layered CI that
tests, runs, packages and deploys our solution on AWS. I used Kubernetes to orchestrate the deployment,
scaling and management of the different parts of
the system.
Senior Data Engineer

As a data engineer in the automotive data science team, I designed and built scalable systems that are
extracting, transforming and loading data at scale.
- Developed, implemented, and tested sensor fusion algorithms for tracking the vehicle position. It used a
variety of the vehicles sensors, including imagery,
and achieved accuracy of 15cm.
-
As a result of lack of ground truth data, I designed and implemented a ground truth collection web app,
using the latest web technologies and innovative user experience and product design. This system is still
running in the company and is being used by 12 employees that are annotating data using it on a full time
basis.
