About me

AI & Data Science Specialist with experience in Fintech, Machine Learning, AI Engineering, and the development of AML/CFT solutions for U.S. regulatory compliance. I’m skilled in building AI Agents, automating workflows, and designing robust KYC policies aligned with FinCEN and OFAC standards. My proficiency includes Python, SQL, Large Language Models (LLMs), Prompt Engineering, Deep Learning, and deploying applications with frameworks like Streamlit and Flask.

I have developed AI-driven automation tools to enhance the detection and analysis of suspicious financial transactions within the payments industry. I also worked alongside U.S. banks to architect AML/CFT frameworks and KYC onboarding workflows, ensuring compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Patriot Act.

My hands-on technical experience includes Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), Model Context Protocol (MCP), vector databases, and model evaluation. I am currently pursuing an advanced specialization in Machine Learning Engineering, with a keen interest in designing and deploying the next generation of scalable, data-centric applications across industries.
