I build credit risk and underwriting systems that expand lending while managing portfolio risk.

Saudi Arabia
Message

I'm leading Tamara's MSME lending launch in Saudi Arabia, building the underwriting stack and Tamara Scoring Engine from zero across KSA and UAE markets.

Previously, I led an eight-member data science team at BharatPe and credit risk modelling at Paytm, supporting ₹1,000+ crore in monthly disbursals. I build scorecards, fraud detection, risk-based pricing, and portfolio monitoring systems that treat credit risk as a growth lever.
