Key Responsibilities

Advanced ML Model Development

• Lead the end-to-end development of machine learning models, including supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning approaches, for fraud detection and risk mitigation.
• Incorporate large language models (LLMs) and generative AI to improve detection precision, result explainability, and analytical workflows.
• Design and deliver industry-wide consortium models as well as client-specific models to meet both broad and tailored detection needs.
• Enhance and scale the model governance frameworks, including model documentation, version control, validation, monitoring, and regulatory compliance alignment.

AI-Powered Data Analysis and insight derivation

• Use AI to assist with data mining, fraud trend detection, and root cause analysis for fraud events.
• Automate result interpretation, detection reporting, and ongoing model performance diagnostics and explanations.

Client-Centric Solutions

• Collaborate with top-tier financial institutions, fintechs, and e-commerce platforms to understand fraud challenges and deliver measurable detection improvements.
• Translate client-specific data and feedback loops (e.g., chargebacks, ACH returns) into actionable machine learning strategies.

Cross-Functional Execution
