Hi there, I'm Mara ๐Ÿ‘‹

Machine Learning Engineer & Researcher Bridging the gap between Causal Inference and production-scale AI.

Currently, I work as a Data Scientist at INGKA Group (IKEA), architecting the recommendations infrastructure serving millions of users. My focus is on building reliable, interpretable systems, whether that's deploying Multi-Armed Bandits in Golang or mapping the internal reasoning of LLMs.

๐Ÿš€ Highlights

  • ๐Ÿ† Oral Presentation at CLeaR 2025: My paper on Causal Abstraction in Large Language Models was selected for an oral presentation. I study how models reason, not just what they predict.
  • ๐Ÿ›  Production RL at Scale: Developed IKEA's shift to dynamic Multi-Armed Bandit agents. I built the Golang serving layer, powering the recommendation panel.
  • ๐Ÿ”Ž Offline Simulation: Designed the evaluation framework that allows us to test agent safety and convergence before live deployment.

๐Ÿ›  Tech Stack

  • Languages: Python, Golang, SQL
  • Machine Learning: PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, Reinforcement Learning (Bandits)
  • LLMs & GenAI: Hugging Face (Transformers, PEFT), LangChain, OpenAI API
  • Causal Inference: DoWhy, CausalML
  • Infrastructure: Google Cloud Platform (Vertex AI, BigQuery, Pub/Sub)

When I'm not debugging distributed systems or reading papers, I focus on discipline and technique through Pole Fitness ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™€๏ธ and Piano ๐ŸŽน.
