# Harsh Ghandwani on Tal

## Headline

AI Engineer \| GenAI, LLMs, RAG, Agentic Systems \| PyTorch \| NITK

## About

Data Scientist at NPCI with 1\.5\+ years of experience building AI\-driven fraud detection systems for large\-scale UPI transaction networks\. I design and deploy scalable ML and deep learning models that detect financial fraud with high precision while minimizing false positives\. My work includes building FP/FN analytics dashboards to improve model interpretability and decision\-making, and implementing federated learning frameworks for secure, privacy\-preserving collaboration with partner banks\. Recently, I built an AI Expense Manager—an LLM\-powered assistant that converts voice and natural language into structured financial records in real time \(\~90% accuracy, <500 ms latency\), demonstrating my work in agentic AI systems and real\-time NLP pipelines\. Core strengths: • Fraud detection & risk modeling • LLMs, RAG pipelines & agentic AI systems • NLP \(BERT & transformer\-based models\) • Scalable backend systems \(FastAPI, SQL\) • Production\-grade ML systems & deployment
