Mr. Vartak has established a distinguished career in the field of data science and machine learning, currently serving as a senior data scientist specializing in machine learning at Meta since 2023. In this capacity, he engages with key stakeholders, primarily software engineers, to discuss system enhancements and experimental initiatives. His responsibilities include conducting in-depth analyses of system improvements and experimental outcomes to evaluate performance and effectiveness. He prepares detailed analytical reports and strategic recommendations to support informed decision-making, analyzes systems to deliver strategic insights through rigorous evaluation and operational recommendations related to ongoing experiments, and assesses experimental results to determine whether initiatives should be continued, modified or discontinued. He also collaborates with colleagues to conceptualize and develop foundational data sets necessary for comprehensive end-to-end system evaluation.

Prior to his current role, Mr. Vartak served as a data scientist at Meta from 2021 to 2023. During this period, he contributed significantly to the company's analytical capabilities by designing and implementing models that informed business strategies and product development. His expertise in model evaluation and artificial intelligence assessments was instrumental in optimizing Meta's data-driven decision-making processes.

From 2020 to 2021, Mr. Vartak held the position of data engineer at Meta. In this role, he was responsible for developing robust data pipelines and infrastructure that supported large-scale applications. Notably, early in his career as a data engineer, he played a pivotal role in the launch of an application that scaled to 10 million users within six months across the United States and Canada. He developed the entire data infrastructure for this app, building it from the ground up to accommodate such a large user base. The successful deployment of this infrastructure stands as a defining highlight of his professional journey.

In 2019, Mr. Vartak gained valuable experience as a machine learning intern at Accrete Inc., where he contributed to the development of advanced algorithms and participated in research projects focused on artificial intelligence solutions for enterprise clients. Also in 2019, he worked as a data engineering intern at Meta, where he assisted in building scalable data solutions that enhanced operational efficiency across various teams. That same year, Mr. Vartak served as a graduate teaching assistant at New York University, supporting faculty members in delivering coursework related to computer science and mentoring students on technical projects.

Between 2018 and 2019, Mr. Vartak held two concurrent internships as a data science intern at Gush and DAIX-Digital Assets Information Exchange. At Gush, he contributed to analytics projects aimed at improving user engagement through predictive modeling techniques. At DAIX-Digital Assets Information Exchange, he focused on developing tools for digital asset analysis and market forecasting.

From 2017 to 2018, Mr. Vartak represented E-Cell IIT Bombay as a college representative, promoting entrepreneurship initiatives among students and facilitating workshops on innovation. During the 2016 to 2017 academic year, he served as general secretary at Thadomal Shahani Engineering College, where he demonstrated leadership by organizing student activities and fostering community engagement. He began his professional journey in 2017 as a research intern at Techombay, contributing to technology-driven research projects that laid the groundwork for his future pursuits in data science.

Mr. Vartak's academic background has been integral to his success. He earned a master's degree in computer science from New York University, which provided him with advanced knowledge in machine learning and artificial intelligence methodologies that underpin his current expertise. He also holds a bachelor's degree in computer software engineering from the University of Mumbai, India. The rigorous training received during his undergraduate studies equipped him with foundational skills essential for his early roles in engineering and research.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Mr. Vartak has shown commitment to civic engagement through volunteer work with the National Service Scheme in India and as a teaching assistant with Akanksha Foundation, where he contributed to educational initiatives aimed at empowering underprivileged communities.

Mr. Vartak's dedication has been acknowledged through several awards, including the Barrister H.G. Advani Gold Medal from Thadomal Shahani Engineering College in 2018 and the Leadership Award from the same institution that year. He attributes his achievements not only to his educational experiences but also to strong family support. The guidance and encouragement provided by his parents and grandparents have played a critical role in advancing his pursuits.

Born in Mumbai, India, Mr. Vartak enjoys cycling and frequently rides through Central Park, a pastime that reflects his appreciation for balance between professional rigor and personal well-being. Looking ahead, he aims to advance his career as a data scientist with a specific focus on pursuing a management track. His goal is to become a senior leader in data science, potentially at Meta or elsewhere. He considers a quote from the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" to be his guiding principle throughout his journey so far: "If you desire something, you must pursue it relentlessly, without hesitation."
