About

Joojay Huyn is a Senior Software Engineer with a focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) at LinkedIn. He is a member of the LinkedIn AI Organization, Learning AI Team, and Data Sentinel Team. With over 4.7 years of relevant experience, Joojay has worked on several projects that have helped companies leverage AI and ML to improve their business processes. Joojay's past experience includes working as a Data Engineering Intern at move, inc, where he created a data quality assessment (DQA) framework that leverages causal networks (Bayesian networks) to discover and apply business rules from clickstream data for DQA while empowering subject matter experts and data engineers to influence the DQA lifecycle with their own curiosities, newly-acquired knowledge, and domain expertise. He also packaged the DQA framework into a horizontally scalable batch-processing system that leverages Apache Spark, AWS, and relational databases. Joojay was the first author of a conference paper submitted to the ICDE 2018 conference. As a Graduate Student Researcher at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, Joojay conducted independent statistical relational learning (SRL) research, advised by members of the UCLA Automated Reasoning Group and StarAI Lab. He developed a horizontally scalable system that effectively leverages in-memory MPP databases and SQL to efficiently learn Bayesian network structures from large-scale data. Early benchmarking performance experiments show that his system surpasses the state-of-the-art open-source and commercial Bayesian network structural learning tools (e.g. Smile, BayesServer, Tetrad). Joojay holds a Master of Science (MS) degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Master's Thesis Track from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin. He also has a High School Diploma from Saint Francis High School in Mountain View, CA. Joojay's tech stack includes AI, ML, Software Engineering, AWS, Data Engineering, Spark, Research Scientist, and SQL. With his expertise in AI and ML, Joojay is a valuable asset to any organization looking to leverage these technologies to improve their business processes.
