I am an AI/ML engineer with over 4 years of experience delivering end-to-end machine learning solutions across banking, financial services, and enterprise technology. I specialize in credit risk, fraud detection, churn prediction, customer segmentation, NLP, and Generative AI, deployed in FCA-regulated production environments. I thrive at bridging the gap between data science and business. I translate regulatory and business requirements into production-ready AI solutions, communicate model findings to senior stakeholders, and collaborate with risk, compliance, and data engineering teams. I am a published researcher with four peer-reviewed papers and a Best Dissertation Award recipient from the University of Strathclyde (2025).
