Message

At State Street Corporation, I conduct risk assessments and audits of AI and GenAI solutions against the EU AI Act and Responsible AI governance standards. I also contribute to governance frameworks and monitor controls across the model lifecycle.

At Grant Thornton Bharat LLP, I developed automated continuous control monitoring solutions and built a Generative AI chatbot using OpenAI's platform to demonstrate risk management applications.

At KPMG India, I developed PostgreSQL databases and scripts to automate internal audit control testing, reducing manual effort by 60%. I also used Power BI to present findings and analysed data from SAP, MOVEX, Aurora, and Basware.

At PricewaterhouseCoopers AC, I completed SAP XSA HANA analytics modelling for an FMCG client and built real-time data replication flowgraphs. I also developed risk analytics and automated SAP data validation and extraction processes.
