Pinterest Senior Software Engineering Manager ML

I'm a Senior Machine Learning Engineering Manager at Pinterest with 14 years of experience in machine learning and 5+ years in engineering leadership. My experience spans building billion-scale recommendation systems, personalization, partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact ML solutions at scale. I specialize in helping candidates prepare for: - **Engineering Manager / Senior EM Interviews:** People management, behavioral interviews, organizational leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and execution. - **Staff+ Technical Leadership Interviews:** Technical strategy, architectural trade-offs, influencing without authority, and driving large-scale initiatives. - **Staff+ ML System Design:** Recommendation systems, ranking, retrieval, personalization, ML infrastructure, Scalability, and production ML architecture. My coaching focuses on helping you demonstrate not just *what* you've accomplished, but *how you think, make decisions, navigate ambiguity, and lead*. I'll provide realistic interview practice, actionable feedback, and guidance on communicating your impact effectively at the level you're targeting.
