AI systems don’t fail because of bad models — they fail because governance is added too late. I specialize in the operational side of AI safety—turning high-level ethical principles into hard-coded governance processes. With 2.5 years of experience managing high-volume risk environments at Virtusa, I bridge the gap between "engine-room" operations and boardroom policy to ensure AI systems remain safe, fair, and auditable. I don't just theorize about Responsible AI; I build the frameworks, conduct technical audits, and author the incident reports that make AI adoption a reality for regulated industries. Core Expertise: Technical Auditing: Proficient in using Python (Pandas/Fairlearn) to identify and mitigate algorithmic bias, such as demographic parity gaps. Regulatory Frameworks: Implementing controls aligned with the NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001 (AIMS), and the Indian DPDP Act 2023. Operational Risk: Expertise in Model Risk Management (MRM), including Red Teaming, Model Cards for transparency, and Incident Response protocols. Signature Project: I recently engineered an end-to-end AI Governance Framework for the Ad-Tech ecosystem to address "Compliance Drift" in GenAI pipelines. This included a quantitative bias audit, the development of NIST-aligned policies, and establishing "Human-in-the-Loop" triggers for high-stakes verticals like Finance and Healthcare. I am passionate about building trust in automated systems and am always looking to connect with fellow professionals in the AI Ethics and Governance space.
