Saumil Agrawal

“During the two years I worked closely with Saumil on the same Integrity product team at Meta, I have consistently been impressed by his wide range of skills and expertise, his commitment to collaboration, his problem solving skills, and the passion with which he approaches his work. Saumil is an essential part of any team because he has deep expertise in analyzing data (both macro trends and isolated instances) and deciphering the problem in an objective way. He is constantly keeping up with the work of our cross-functional and partner teams so that he can always propose solutions that are creative and expand upon existing efforts and infrastructure. Saumil is extremely resourceful. When we are confronted by a difficult challenge where existing resource or infrastructural limitations might prevent a quick resolution, he is able to lay out both an immediate plan to utilize other existing tools or sources of data to home in on the problem and mitigate it, while formulating a long-term plan for permanent improvement. He is a wonderful partner in brainstorming solutions, prioritizing problems for the roadmap, and building robust data stories to communicate the importance of our work for various stakeholders. He approaches his work with a lot of care and attention and holds himself to the highest standards. Every single investigative report I've read from him has included thorough research backed by years of data, illustrative examples from live customers or internal teams, and clean data tables or graphs that help readers immediately understand the impactand risk of the topic at hand. Saumil is a strong problem solver, data wizard, and collaborative partner who is a joy to work with and will be a powerful addition to any team!”

“I've had the pleasure of partnering with Saumil at Meta/Facebook solving trust and safety issues at scale. Saumil has developed deep domain expertise through years of technical investigative work. He takes a methodical approach to research, identify and design risk detection systems, from policy through to proactive and scaled solutions. Saumil approaches each new challenge with a deeply collaborative mindset. His contagious passion and crisp communication skills enable very effective partnerships across product and engineering teams. The insights he developed are used to protect ~2 billion users from harm, unlock revenue opportunities, reduce friction and improve the user experience. I highly recommend Saumil for any role or organization that needs a talented and passionate principal/engineer/analyst/investigator/leader who delivers deep actionable insights, that drive a robust end-to-end technical strategy to prevent emerging and scaled abuse.”
