Building tech for justice systems | Conversational AI

About

Currently, I am building the ML/Product stack to empower judiciaries in the Global South. Before this, I led the Product-ML team at Skit.ai - launching and scaling its first LLM-voicebot for the US Debt-Collections market. On the technical side, I have worked on parts and the whole of Speech Dialog Systems. Specifically, I am interested in the non-lexical parts of human speech and techniques that model and interpret these turn-taking dynamics. In a previous role, I used ML algorithms to model extreme events in financial markets. Natively, I am a pure mathematician with interests in Number Theory and Cryptography. My training in mathematics has left me with a quick grasp of abstract concepts, and the ability to communicate them well.

Data Scientist at LBBW Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, Jul 2018 - Oct 2018 · 4 mos, London Area, United Kingdom, My primary responsibility was to develop machine learning models to predict the effect of market crises on different classes of collateral. Further, I used statistical methods in Python to build a distribution function. This allowed the Risk Manager to value the credit risk of collateralised loan deals. In my other projects, I implemented ML algorithms to predict client behaviour in the Credit Linked Note (CLN) market, and also designed a mutual fund investment strategy for European indices with Modern Portfolio Theory as the backbone.
