I closely work with 20+ colleagues to combat fraud on the front lines on a daily basis. My colleague Paul Simala and I are entrusted with working independently on multiple work streams such as zelle fraud and closing open fraud cases ranging from ID theft to deposit fraud. On a typical day I can close 4-10 open cases which can include multiple callouts to customers or non customers. These calls can vary from verifying checks to informing an individual their identity has been stolen all while handling 40+ zelle requests and monitoring our team chat to assist any colleague in any way they need. This job requires an extreme attention to detail and an innate desire to be exploratory. If you aren’t checking for every possibility of fraud the fraudsters will slip through the cracks.

I created a machine learning model at BMO that was able to catch an additional 15% of retail branch new account fraud. This model is catching fraud at the time of account creation and is estimated to save BMO about $500,000 over the course of 8 months. The model achieved this with an FPR(false positive ratio) of 0.85:1. I presented my findings at the end of the semester in a department wide meeting attended by multiple teams and executive members of the company. My findings were presented in a manner that allowed all team members to gain more valuable knowledge in the fight against new account fraud • Connecting to different data sources and extracting data sets• Learning and writing code in SQL, Python, and SAS(Data analytics software suite)• Process Data sets• Merging Data• Creating new variables to be used in analysis of data to answer some business questions• Help in ML model development

I would be helping students 30 hours a week in different subjects of computing. The three main subjects I would tutor in are programming 1, programming 2, and Data Structures. I would say that most students I helped tend to see an increase in their understanding and grade in the class.
