IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Data Scientist with experience building fraud-detection frameworks and production ML systems across banking products, combining strong statistical foundations with practical engineering to deliver measurable impact.
At IDFC First Bank I developed XGBoost models and advanced feature-selection pipelines that achieved 80% recall with 70% precision, implemented rule-based risk zoning, built negative PII repositories, and automated monthly checks to reduce fraud and operational effort.
Previously at Standard Chartered I collaborated on statistical analysis of user feedback, built platform microservices to structure Kafka logs, automated alert routing, and implemented trade confirmation components using React and Spring Boot, focusing on scalable, production-ready solutions.
