@dhruvagrawal
I build robust AI and fintech products that turn complex risk, compliance, and credit data into business impact.
What I'm looking for
At Capital One, I lead strategy for an agentic AI build-failure analysis tool that improves debugging while balancing accuracy and latency, and I grew user engagement 25% through a customer-informed roadmap. Previously at EXL, I built ML-powered fraud detection and generative AI compliance platforms for global financial institutions.
I've also built ML credit-decisioning products at DMI Finance, increasing loan applications 6x, and co-founded Cread, scaling its social e-commerce platform to 1K+ daily active users and $150K ARR. I focus on making advanced AI resilient, aligned, and useful under real-world regulatory, privacy, and financial constraints.
