About

I’m a Software Engineer with 4 years of experience building production-facing AI/ML systems, backend infrastructure, and risk decisioning platforms. I’ve delivered measurable impact by reducing manual processing effort by 90%, improving risk decline accuracy from 11% to 6%, and shipping production-ready workflows that cover feature pipelines, model inference, evaluation, and monitoring.

Most recently at Chime, I’ve been owning production AI/ML risk-decisioning workflows end to end—partnering closely with Risk and ML engineering teams to strengthen model readiness and reliability through experimentation and production CI/CD. Earlier, I built payments, fraud, chargeback, and compliance systems at Razorpay and BharatPe, and I supported automation and research operations during my graduate work at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi.
