What I'm looking for

I’m open to Data Science opportunities in India.

At Block, I built the Good Merchant Gone Bad fraud-risk portfolio from the ground up, using real-time heuristics and staged experiments to reduce average monthly losses from about $1.5M to about $600K. I also developed an XGBoost model whose risk signals fed the portfolio’s heuristics.

At fastwheel.ai, I designed and built an evaluation harness for a bilingual production RAG assistant, with a golden test suite gating every deployment in CI. I implemented LLM-as-judge scoring and retrieval-quality measurement to help identify where system failures occur.

At J. Michael Goodson Law Library, Duke Law School, I developed document-classification and entity-extraction systems that reduced client work-hours and manual effort. I’m open to Data Science opportunities in India.
