I'm building data and AI systems at Barclays, where I engineer SAS workflows and create analytic-ready data stores and model-ready data marts for payments, risk, and reporting.

I also built a customer-aware FX pricing model using XGBoost, combining market microstructure signals, client behavior features, and time-series dynamics to predict bid-ask spreads.

At Mastercard AI Garage, I researched fraud detection using real-world data and invented card-based merchant features that improved model accuracy by 20%. I built merchant and card embeddings with Siamese Networks and TabNet to strengthen XGBoost models.

I've also created agentic AI platforms for startup investment analysis and multi-platform content creation using Google ADK. My work spans multimodal meme recognition, AI hackathon-winning systems, and data science forecasting.
