About

I work at the intersection of data, systems, and product decisions.

Hi, I’m Hamza Khawar. I work across the data lifecycle, from infrastructure and modeling to analytics, experimentation, and applied ML. I focus on building the foundations that make data useful.

What I spend time on

A lot of my work starts with ambiguity: unclear metrics, messy systems, incomplete signals, or decisions that need better evidence. I like turning that ambiguity into something useful—whether that means improving the underlying data, designing a better measurement approach, or building systems and tools that other teams can rely on.

This site is a notebook for that work. Some posts are technical, some are notes from problems I’ve spent time with and some are just me trying to say something plainly.

Data Platform & Infrastructure

Building the platforms, systems, and foundations that keep data reliable, accessible, and scalable.

Analytics & Experimentation

Metrics, semantic models, and experiments that help teams understand what’s happening and decide what to do next.

Applied ML & Data Products

Building models that power prediction, personalization, and automation in products.

Work history
Now

Senior Principal Data Scientist, US Mobile

Building across the data lifecycle—from platform foundations to analytics, experimentation, and applied ML.

Before

Meta and Turo

Developed product judgment through measurement, experimentation, growth, and data-driven product decisions.

Foundation

Berkeley M.Eng.

Built a foundation in engineering, systems thinking, and applied problem-solving.

How I try to work
  1. Start with the data and constraints that actually exist.
  2. Check the assumptions before treating the result as real.
  3. Write things down when the decision matters.
  4. Build the simplest system that will hold up under the load.
