## Headline

AI Ethics, Governance & Risk Specialist \| NIST AI RMF \| Python \(Fairlearn\)

## About

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\.
