Senior Generative AI & Python Data Engineer at Elevance Health
December 1, 2024 - Present
Designed and developed an AI-powered healthcare claims automation platform, including an AI Evidence Packet framework that combines claim details, member history, policy citations, coding validation, authorization status, and reviewer notes into a single explainable decision-support view. Implemented a confidence-based exception routing model to separate low-risk automated recommendations from complex claims requiring human review, boosting reviewer productivity while maintaining compliance controls. Introduced a policy-change impact workflow to identify affected claim types, denial reasons, and coding rules when medical policies change, reducing manual analysis for operations teams. Built end-to-end ingestion pipelines using PySpark, Kafka, Airflow, and REST APIs; developed document intelligence workflows with OCR and AWS Textract; normalized healthcare codes; implemented a production-grade RAG pipeline with embeddings and vector stores; created LangGraph-based agentic workflows coord
Senior AI & Data Engineer at Capco
August 1, 2022 - November 1, 2024
Built a Fraud Signal Intelligence Layer unifying transaction, login, device, merchant, and behavioral signals into reusable risk features for real-time scoring and batch analytics. Created an Analyst Feedback-to-Model Learning Loop to convert fraud investigator decisions into retraining signals, reducing false positives and improving model precision. Introduced a GenAI Fraud Case Narrative Engine using Azure OpenAI to generate analyst-friendly risk summaries and recommended next actions. Designed real-time fraud pipelines with Kafka, Spark Structured Streaming, PySpark, and SQL; developed risk features (velocity, geo-distance mismatch, device change, merchant risk, failed login patterns). Established model training pipelines with Airflow, MLflow, AWS S3, and Snowflake; deployed real-time inference services via FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes, AKS; implemented SHAP explanations and fraud monitoring dashboards with Tableau/Prometheus/Grafana. Strengthened security with cloud controls and RBA
