“AI/ML engineer (Cognizant) who built a production, real-time credit card fraud detection platform combining deep-learning anomaly detection with an LLM-based explanation layer. Strong focus on regulated deployment: addressed class imbalance and feature drift, and added guardrails (SHAP/structured inputs, fine-tuning on analyst reports, rule-based validation) to keep explanations accurate and compliant. Orchestrated the full pipeline with Airflow + Databricks/Spark and used MLflow/Prometheus plus A/B and shadow deployments for measurable reliability.”

“ML/LLM engineer who has shipped a production transformer-based document understanding system on AWS, owning the full pipeline from domain fine-tuning to Dockerized CI/CD deployment.
