About

I’m an AI/ML leader with 12+ years of experience building and scaling AI-driven systems across Meta, Google, and Simpl, with a focus on fraud prevention, risk analytics, and platform integrity. Currently, I lead Trust & Safety Data Science at Simpl, where I own the end-to-end fraud prevention strategy and AI roadmap, managing a 16-member cross-functional team. My work has driven ~95% reduction in fraud losses by combining real-time detection systems, risk policy design, and scalable ML pipelines. A key focus area has been deploying modern AI systems in production, including architecting an agentic RAG-based investigation platform (LangGraph + GPT-4) that automates fraud investigations and account actions at scale (~500 cases/day), reducing review time by 30%. Previously at Meta, I led development of large-scale ML and computer vision systems leveraging multimodal signals (name, photo, behavioral, and network) to detect over 1M impersonator accounts per month across a ~3B user base. I also contributed to safeguarding platform integrity across 30+ national elections and worked on emerging domains such as identity verification, Metaverse, and NFTs. I enjoy working at the intersection of AI, product, and business—solving complex problems where technology directly drives measurable impact while balancing risk, user experience, and growth.

  • ‣ Owned end-to-end fraud prevention strategy and AI roadmap for the organization. Partnered with product, engineering, and business leadership to align fraud strategy with growth objectives.
  • ‣ Established a 16-member cross-functional T&S team (Data Science, Data Engineering, Fraud Monitoring).
  • ‣ Reduced fraud losses by ~90% (~2 Lakhs weekly loss to < 20K loss) by implementing real-time monitoring, detection systems, and risk frameworks.
  • ‣ Defined and deployed risk policies balancing user experience and security, reducing false positives by 60%.
  • ‣ Architected and scaled an agentic RAG-based investigation platform (LangGraph + GPT-4), leveraging tool-augmented LLM workflows to orchestrate multi-hop reasoning across APIs, network graph databases, policy knowledge bases, and customer support systems; automated fraud investigation and account actioning at scale (~500 cases/day), reducing review time by 30%.
  • ‣ Built predictive models (LSTM-based) for delinquency risk, improving recovery efficiency.
  • ‣ Proactively identified and mitigated emerging fraud risks for new product launches (e.g., Simpl Select, Pay-in-3), defining early-stage risk frameworks and controls to ensure secure and scalable rollout; collaborated with product to lead pricing experimentation for Simpl Select using A/B testing, optimizing adoption while managing risk exposure.
  • ‣ Established monitoring, alerting, and governance systems for production ML pipelines.
