@dannyuser3
I am a data-driven senior risk analyst delivering predictive model improvements and measurable business ROI.
What I'm looking for
I am a data-driven risk analyst and machine-learning practitioner with strong quantitative foundations from IIT Delhi and an MBA from IIMA. At American Express I scaled financial-data integration, mitigated model drift, and engineered RNN-based spend signals that delivered multi-million dollar annual benefits and improved model Gini performance.
I have a proven record of fast-track promotion, competition wins, and impactful product developmentāfrom building credit-risk features across 10+ markets to implementing user-facing Android features at Samsung. I combine rigorous technical skills (Python, SQL, Spark, R, C++) with business acumen to drive measurable outcomes and mentor teammates for rapid onboarding.
