About

With over 10 years of experience in data science and AI/ML, I’ve spent the past 6 years leading efforts to protect some of the world’s top brands—in gaming, finance, banking, retail, and aviation—against sophisticated cyber threats targeting their web and mobile platforms. My work has driven the development of advanced security algorithms that significantly improved attack mitigation rates, all while maintaining a false-positive rate below 1%. Beyond the technical execution, I’ve led cross-functional teams, managed end-to-end project lifecycles, and translated complex business challenges into scalable, data-driven solutions. I bring a strategic mindset, hands-on technical depth, and a strong track record of delivering measurable impact across cybersecurity, telecommunications, and travel sectors. I’m passionate about building and leading high-performing teams that turn data into defensible business value.
