About

I build product quality and consumer risk management solutions for ecommerce—turning noisy signals into decisions that reduce defects and protect customers. I partner with Engineering, Ops, Sales, and BI to take ideas from 0→1 and scale them: defining signals and metrics, building the tooling and workflows, and driving integrations + launches from requirements through go-live, adoption, and post-launch iteration. My work spans NLP/LLM-driven signals, risk classification and scoring, and quality visibility (dashboards + automated reporting). Github: https://github.com/Amberice
