Anurag Kola — AI Researcher
I still remember writing my first ML model at IIT Madras. It was fascinating, but theoretical. 9 years later, in the high-stakes world of FinTech, I’ve learned that "clean code" isn't enough—your models need to solve million-dollar problems. Over the last decade, I have worked at the intersection of Finance and AI. I’ve moved from building basic predictive models to deploying large-scale AI systems that detect fraud, optimize credit risk, and personalize banking for millions of users. I don’t just train models; I build data products that work in production. On LinkedIn, I share the "unfiltered" side of Data Science that courses won't teach you: - Real-world ML: Handling messy financial data, productionizing MLOps, and LLMs. - Domain Knowledge: Why context matters more than algorithms in Data Science of BFSI. - Career Growth: How to move from Junior Analyst to Lead Data Scientist and beyond. Tech: Python, PyTorch, SQL, AWS, LLMs. Domain: Credit Risk, Fraud, Operations. I’m on a mission to help 5,000 data professionals bridge the gap between "Theory" and "Industry."
