## About

```text
At Allied Bank Limited’s Digital Banking Group, I designed and deployed an AI-driven fraud risk solution using transaction behaviour to identify anomalous activity and support proactive risk decisioning.

I also engineered scalable pipelines for banking transaction and log data, and developed behavioural risk signals for monitoring and customer risk segmentation. I built an AI-powered analytics assistant to streamline transaction investigations.

Previously, as a Senior Data Scientist at Remote Team Solutions, I developed fraud and payment-risk models and decisioning frameworks for digital banking, card payments, and fintech transactions. My work contributed to a 25% improvement in model-driven decision accuracy.

As a Data Analyst at Remote Team Solutions, I created Power BI and Tableau dashboards and automated reporting workflows, reducing reporting delays by 40% and manual processing time by 30%. I’ve also designed fraud intelligence and digital funds transfer risk monitoring projects using behavioural analytics, forecasting, and explainable ML.
