Message

At Amazon, I lead a team of six programmer analysts responsible for the Amazon Relay Trust ML models that predict and prevent fraud, theft, and loss. I own the model governance framework and coordinate model reporting and priorities across technology, product, and investigation teams.

Before this, I investigated carrier and financial fraud at Amazon, where I exposed collusion involving 20+ employees and 30+ carriers, preventing $30M+ in projected future losses. I also developed sales and market strategies at Apollo Tyres and Alliance Tire Group, and co-founded Axiom Consulting Services.
