About

I completed my Bachelor’s in Computer Science & Engineering in 2008 and began my professional career as an application developer with IBM in October 2008. After spending nearly eight years in corporate roles, I felt the need to return to academics to pursue my growing interest in data science. I took a break from industry and earned my Master’s degree in Business Analytics and Information Systems from the University of South Florida in 2016. I also got an opportunity to work as a student assistant in statistics helping undergrad students with statistical problems and concepts.

Over the past decade, I have worked extensively in fraud strategy, risk analytics, and governance frameworks at leading financial institutions and technology companies like Aberdeen Asset Management, Citibank and Barclays. I managed acquisition underwriting for ~2B portfolio, and ECM programs like proactive line increase (~500mn annually) and customer initiated line increase for around ~1.3mn customer base.
I also developed and managed fraud strategies across the products and portfolios totaling over $40bn of dollar exposure and > 5mn customer base.
These experiences sharpened my expertise in AI/ML driven data extraction, modeling, visualization, and predictive analytics, while highlighting the transformative potential of advanced research to detect fraud, optimize credit risk, and improve decision-making.
