Key Strengths

  • Built and deployed a RAG-based financial insights assistant for analysts, reducing manual research time
  • Designed a validation layer to mitigate LLM hallucinations via atomic-claim extraction and semantic entailment checks with source traceability
  • Architected end-to-end MLOps platform (Kubeflow + MLflow + AWS CI/CD) for frequent retraining/validation/deployment
  • Experience operating at very large scale (fraud/credit models processing 500M+ transactions daily) with 99.99% uptime target
  • Reliability-focused engineering: modular pipeline design, unit/integration testing (pytest), load testing on Kubernetes (Locust), and KPI monitoring
  • Effective collaboration with non-technical risk/compliance/legal stakeholders; simplified labeling and reporting to improve model precision and reduce false alerts
