Work Experience

AI/ML Engineer at Marqeta
February 1, 2025 - Present
Led the development of an AI-driven Fraud Detection and Risk Analytics platform processing millions of transactions daily. Achieved a 35% reduction in potential fraud exposure, improved risk response speed, and ensured PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and SOX compliance. Built end-to-end data ingestion and transformation pipelines with Python, SQLAlchemy, and Pydantic, achieving 99.5% schema validation accuracy. Engineered transaction-level NLP features and fine-tuned Longformer/FinBERT with domain adaptation (LoRA/PEFT) to boost performance while cutting compute costs by ~40%. Implemented real-time RAG pipelines with LangChain, FAISS, and AWS Lambda for rapid historical lookups, increasing query accuracy by 30% and reducing investigation time by 35%. Established scalable ML monitoring and retraining frameworks for auditable, production-grade deployments across Marqeta's global payments ecosystem.
AI/ML Engineer at Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.
June 1, 2020 - December 1, 2023
Designed the Smart Financial Personalization Engine using Python, SQL, and Spark. Built scalable ETL and feature engineering pipelines with PySpark and Airflow, integrating data from MySQL, Hive, and real-time streams. Developed models (XGBoost, Transformer encoders) to predict churn, anomalies, and fraud, achieving high precision and robustness. Applied hyperparameter tuning, cross-validation, and SHAP explainability to ensure transparency and regulatory compliance. Deployed containerized ML microservices with Docker, Kubernetes, gRPC, Kafka, and Redis, achieving <100ms latency and 99.9% uptime. Collaborated with Product/Risk/UX teams to run A/B tests, increasing conversions and reducing false positives.
