Senior Machine Learning Engineer

I am a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with a proven track record of scaling AI infrastructure and building robust fraud-detection systems. From deploying 100+ production-ready models to winning 1st Prize in the RBI Hackathon for mule account detection , I specialize in turning complex data into secure, real-time solutions. Currently exploring the frontiers of Generative AI by building custom LLM training frameworks. Let's build the next generation of secure and intelligent systems!

2024 - 2026
1) Config-driven ML Workflow Orchestrator : - Crafted a configurable centralised MLOps library to automate end-to-end ML workflows on GCP using Airflow. - Orchestrated GCP VM provisioning, git repository builds, Docker executions, hyperparameter tuning, real-time Slack monitoring, GCS artifacts versioning, logging and cleanup across workflows in parallel. Automated the full CI / CD pipeline. - Reduced model iterations from 2 weeks to 1 day. 100+ production-ready models within 2 months by multiple teams. - Scaled framework to support all 7 internal DS pipelines, successfully deploying risk models with 60โ€“80% precision. 2) Real-time Affluence Estimation Engine : - Engineered a real-time service with tree-based models to estimate user affluence in pre-onboarding using sparse multi-source data (profile, bureau, apps, AA transactions, etc) to reduce low-margin acquisitions, leading to org-wide adoption. - Accelerated model iterations by 1โ€“2 weeks by implementing an extendable gRPC data fetching library from backend DBs. - Scaled service to 8M+ users (9 req/s, 5s average latency). Enabled Redis caching to keep batch and real-time scores in sync. - Impacted 70% acquisitions, boosted financial runway by 1 year and improved KPI metrics (RGU, Avg funds added, etc). - Leveraged PySpark batch pipelines to automate model scoring and deliver actionable insights. Achieved a 12x surge in salary users (2K/month). Unlocked high ROI targeting for Credit cards, Savings account campaigns and Personal loan affinity users. 3) DS On-Call MLOps Monitoring : - Owned 24/7 primary on-call for 12 critical DS services and pipelines for 60% of a 4-year tenure, maintaining 99% uptime. - Drove cross-functional system stability by productionising 35+ PRs, resulting in 3x cost reduction in GCP, AWS and K8s.

1) Anti Money Laundering (AML) Modelling in Batch and Real-time : - Devised a foundational algorithm to detect โ€Fast-in-Fast-outโ€ mule activity, powering 25 heuristics and 3 models. - Productionized a Transformer model with 40% precision. Increased DS recall by 15% to 40. Runs on 400M transactions daily. - Integrated 3 real-time tree models on pre-onboarding and other stages with 60% precision and 400 ms average latency. - Built a self-learning case prioritisation service to auto-block 500+ daily fraudsters, cutting ops workload by 4x. - Maintained a 20K+ feature pipeline and drove brainstorming sessions to contribute new categories based on domain feedback. 2) In-House Liveness and KYC Video Fraud Detection : - Architected a multi-modal ensemble Deep Learning system for video KYC liveness and fraud detection. - Developed speech, frame-quality, lip-sync, spoof, and OTP signal to compute a unified risk score using a curated dataset. - Replaced a major external vendor, saving 120K dollars in vendor API costs and Reserve Bank of India penalties. - Deployed to evaluate 20M+ users over three years with zero errors and downtime. Achieved an overall system precision of 75% from 30%, along with standalone spoof detection growing from 40% to 95%.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT INTERN
Walmart
2022 - 2022
Translated FDD and TUT requirements into 10 robust test scripts and unit tests. Tracked defects via Jira and transitioned the manual testing workflows into streamlined pipelines resulting in 20% reduction in QA effort.
DATA SCIENCE INTERN
Innovaccer
2021 - 2021
Instrumented ETL pipelines for 17 US FHIR resources and analysed 2.5M nested JSON records. Mastered PostgreSQL CRUD operations (10x faster) with asyncpg and multiprocessing, achieving 3x faster real-time data processing.
