Emily Chao is a software engineer at Recidiviz. Previously, she was on the Health engineering team at Twitter, working on machine learning pipelines and infrastructure to deploy signals designed to detect, prevent and remediate harassment, inauthentic behavior, and the spread of harmful or misleading content on the platform. Most recently, she contributed to efforts to help protect the integrity of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. When she’s not deep in thought about tech policy or asking herself existential questions about the future of online discourse, Emily enjoys exploring coffee shops, photographing weird happenings around San Francisco and dabbling in a little bit of poetry.
