About me
About me
I am a Data Scientist and AI researcher with a background in Computer Vision and machine learning systems. I completed my Masters in Artificial Intelligence from Boston University, where I conducted research under the guidance of Dr. Margrit Betke, in collaboration with Dr. Prakash Ishwar and Dr. Swathi Kiran, supported by the Center for Brain Recovery.
I am currently working at Capital One as a Senior Data Scientist on fraud detection, where I collaborate across the Transaction Fraud, Account Takeover, and Fraud Fusion Cell teams — working alongside fraud investigators to analyze ongoing fraud trends and develop defenses.

My Research Interests
I am broadly interested in Computer Vision, Reinforcement Learning, Neuroscience, and Large-Scale ML Systems.
Personal Interests
Outside of research, I enjoy ice skating, western classical music (currently exploring Verdi and Handel), and following Valorant e-sports.
