About

Built and operationalized intelligent pricing infrastructure for live event ticketing at StubHub, emphasizing iterative prototyping with traders and production-grade monitoring (Splunk, API/data-stream thresholding). Also partnered with customer-facing teams to drive adoption and helped win a significant consignment revenue-share deal by demoing the system to the Philadelphia 76ers and quantifying pricing efficacy and business impact.
