Hi, I’m Sai Karthik. I’m a Data Scientist with around four years of experience delivering AI, ML, and data-driven solutions for finance and retail. I love turning complex data into clear, actionable insights using Python, SQL, PyTorch, TensorFlow, XGBoost, LSTM, and MLflow. Over the years I’ve built credit-risk models for 180,000+ loan accounts, deployed ML APIs handling 150,000+ requests per day, and improved forecasting and anomaly detection across millions of transactions. I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams and applying LLM pipelines, GPT-4, LangChain, and vector databases to optimize business operations and outcomes.
