Work Experience

AI Engineer at Elevance Health
August 1, 2025 - Present
Designed and implemented an LLM-based healthcare analytics assistant for claims analysis and clinical decision support, enabling natural language querying over EHR and claims datasets and reducing dependency on SQL-based reporting. Built a RAG pipeline with FAISS vector store and OpenAI embeddings, including recursive text chunking, improving retrieval precision for clinical guidelines, claims insights, and member-level analytics. Exposed the LLM pipeline via REST APIs using AWS Lambda and API Gateway, delivering real-time AI-driven insights (~1.5 to 2 sec latency) for business and care management teams, with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Docker. Ensured HIPAA-compliant data processing with PII masking, AES-256 encryption, and IAM-based access control for secure handling of sensitive healthcare data.
AI /ML Engineer at HCL Tech
November 1, 2022 - July 1, 2024
Designed end-to-end ML pipelines for fraud detection and customer personalization in banking using Python, Scikit-learn, and SQL, enabling real-time scoring and improved detection coverage. Built supervised ML models (Logistic Regression, Random Forest, XGBoost, LightGBM) on 20M+ transaction records, applying cross-validation, hyperparameter tuning, and ensemble methods to improve fraud recall by 20%. Engineered banking-specific features (transaction velocity, geo-location variance, device fingerprinting, temporal anomalies) to enhance model precision and reduce false positives. Applied K-Means clustering for customer segmentation, enabling targeted campaigns that improved cross-sell/up-sell response rates by 15 to 18%. Developed ETL pipelines using SQL, Snowflake, and Azure Databricks for high-quality data ingestion, reducing pipeline latency by ~25% and ensuring reproducible feature workflows. Deployed ML models as REST APIs using FastAPI and Azure ML for real-time fraud scoring, ach
