Director(Data Science) at Walmart Global Tech
About
I am a senior AI and Data Science leader with 15+ years of experience building ML and GenAI products that move the needle — not just in research, but in production, at scale, across global markets. At Walmart Global Tech, I build and scaled catalog intelligence systems driving $100M+ in ROI — leveraging GenAI, NLP, and Computer Vision to enrich 1B+ published catalog items across a global e-commerce platform. I also led an intelligent operations AI suite deployed across 5,000+ stores, delivering $50M+ in cost avoidance through products spanning predictive maintenance, energy management, and GenAI-powered ticket resolution — with patents filed across six inventions and research published at international ML conferences. Earlier in my career, at Citi Bank, Accenture, and Deloitte, I delivered high-impact data science solutions across banking, telecom, retail, and healthcare — including AML systems, fraud detection frameworks, and recommendation engines. What sets me apart is the combination of deep technical credibility — LLMs, agentic AI, MLOps, Computer Vision, reinforcement learning — with the leadership experience to scale teams, manage executive stakeholders, own P&L-level roadmaps, and drive cross-functional alignment across geographies and domains.
