PAST: I led Fraud analytics projects for a financial services firm based out of USA. I implement led controls for eliminating risk, fraud and interest issues for them. From conceptualizing to testing strategies to actual execution, all was my prerogative.I was(still am) also actively involved in recruiting(usual focus on lateral hiring but also involved in campus hiring; recruit data engineers, modelling professionals and fresh analytics professionals)and new business initiatives.I usually use proprietary platforms in my tasks, but other than that I also have expertise in machine learning,AI, deep learning, data visualization, database management and model building.
