About

I’m an AI/ML Engineer focused on building production-grade GenAI and graph-enhanced systems for high-scale, real-time decisioning. I’ve delivered fraud detection and transaction risk platforms that combine knowledge graphs, GraphRAG, and predictive modeling to improve accuracy, alert prioritization, and operational reliability across enterprise environments.

I also build scalable streaming and distributed ML pipelines end-to-end—from experimentation to deployment—using AWS, Spark, Kafka, and Kubernetes. Along with hands-on MLOps (MLflow, CI/CD, monitoring, drift detection), I’ve developed LLM fine-tuning workflows (LoRA/QLoRA/PEFT) and AI agents for AML, fraud, and credit workflows, ensuring models perform reliably in secure production settings.

Work experience

AI/ML Engineer · U.S BankJun 2024 – Present · 2 yrs 6 mos

Built an AI-based banking risk platform using graph analytics, knowledge graphs, and predictive models for fraud detection and transaction monitoring, improving fraud identification accuracy by 28%. Developed real-time data pipelines with AWS Glue, Kinesis, Spark, Iceberg, and Redshift to process 1M+ banking transactions for faster AI-driven risk analysis. Created AI agents with LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, and MCP to support fraud/AML/credit workflows, reducing investigation time by 9% using automated case analysis and intelligent retrieval. Implemented GraphRAG with Neo4j vector databases and LLMs to provide risk insights and improve alert prioritization, increasing investigator productivity by 15%. Fine-tuned Llama and Mistral models with QLoRA/PEFT and hyperparameter tuning to optimize performance for risk prediction and fraud/credit tasks. Used MLflow, Kubeflow, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS services to manage deployment, monitoring, and governance, improving production mo
