## About

```text
At Amazon Development Centre, I conduct seller due diligence, verify documents, and investigate compliance appeals. My risk-based assessments helped improve case resolution efficiency by 25%.

I identified and escalated high-risk accounts through pattern and behavioral analysis, contributing to a 30% reduction in fraudulent onboarding. I also led reviews of escalated accounts and maintained audit-ready case documentation.

I designed and built an AI-driven tool for compliance checks that achieved 99% accuracy, and received an internal award for the initiative. I also designed and delivered compliance training for new hires.

At Kotak Life Insurance, I conducted customer identity verification and due diligence before policy issuance. I maintained investigation records across client accounts and processed premium collections with full accuracy and audit-readiness.
