About

Hi, I’m Alice Chang. Currently, I lead AI Products within Pinterest’s Advanced Technologies Group, where my team builds consumer experiences powered by generative AI, ML, and computer vision. Previously, I built and scaled Pinterest’s first livestream shopping product. I’m passionate about empowering high-performing teams to rapidly prototype and experiment, turning ambitious ideas into scalable solutions. With a deep background in backend, mobile, and product engineering, I enjoy tackling tough technical and product challenges to bring new ideas to life.

Projects

Led engineering for a product that connects Pinterest users showing signs of mental distress with research-backed interventions. Featured in The New York Times for making positive societal impact.

Pinterest TV

Launched Pinterest's first-ever livestreaming and live shopping product. Developed from zero-to-one within TwoTwenty, Pinterest's in-house new products incubator.

Sprout (in beta)

Driven by my personal experiences (and several close calls) with my tree nut anaphylaxis, Sprout is an app that connects food allergy sufferers with gold-standard resources and restaurant reviews to help everyone feel safer on their path to food allergy freedom.

Community involvement

compileHer (formerly FEMMES)

Founded an organization that introduces middle-school girls in South Side Chicago to computer science through hands-on activities and education to inspire the next generation of tech enthusiasts.
