Ashim Thapa

At PayPal, I build production GenAI, RAG, and agentic systems for fraud, risk, and operational decision support, helping analysts and operations teams streamline investigations and knowledge retrieval.

I engineer secure Python and FastAPI services, MCP integrations, hybrid retrieval pipelines, and governed batch and streaming data products. I operationalize evaluation, tracing, regression testing, monitoring, and production-readiness controls to improve model reliability and service performance.

Previously at Mutual of Omaha, I built governed Databricks, Snowflake, PySpark, dbt, and Airflow pipelines for insurance data products and a secure knowledge assistant. At Mayo Clinic, I developed clinical data, NLP, classification, anomaly-detection, and information-retrieval pipelines with HIPAA and PHI safeguards.

I enjoy translating complex business needs into scalable AI platforms, leading technical reviews, and mentoring engineers on orchestration, evaluation, security, and production operations.
