• Led the development of various credit underwriting models for mid-market auto lenders. Responsibilities included data acquisition, target generation, model development, explainability analysis, and robustness testing. • Executed client-facing deliverables, including: guides for developing user intuition around our core technology, walkthroughs of experiments conducted by the modeling team, summary recommendations based on the modeling team’s findings, and model risk management (MRM) documentation.• Developed tools for automatically distilling explainability outputs into human-interpretable, actionable insights. Resulting tool reduced manual analysis by 95%.• Conducted research on the robustness of black box model explanations, providing theoretical and empirical guarantees on the reliability of the team's feature attribution methods. Results published in Zest AI's 'Robust Explainability in AI Models' white paper.
