About

With nearly 6 years of professional experience, I specialize in fraud analytics and data-driven decision-making, currently contributing as a Program Lead at Straive. Focused on building scalable solutions in fraud prevention, I thrive on collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement effective strategies that align with organizational goals. By leveraging my expertise in tools like PySpark, SQL, and Python, I aim to empower organizations to mitigate risks while optimizing operational efficiency. Motivated by a commitment to innovation and accuracy, I bring diverse perspectives to deliver impactful outcomes. At Straive, I partnered with key stakeholders to develop an automated claim rejection process, saving substantial operational hours and enabling significant fraud prevention. By engineering data models and optimizing fraud patterns, we enhanced real-time decision-making and reduced risks for a major American bank. My contributions focused on creating tagging logic for suspicious claims and deploying dynamic fraud rules, ensuring robust safeguards against identity theft and fraudulent transactions.
