About

Five years in fintech — building the systems, frameworks, and analytics that sit between raw data and executive decisions. Right now I'm the sole strategy and analytics partner to the founder at QuickAlpha, where I own everything from SQL/AI-driven risk dashboards (cut report latency 40%, real-time visibility across 5,000+ automated users) to product roadmap prioritization and multi-channel GTM that grew subscription renewals by 15%. Before this, I designed a compliance operations framework from scratch at Cashfree Payments — scaling resolution accuracy from 76% to 92% across 50,000+ merchant tickets (highest in the unit) and building anomaly-detection pipelines that reduced false positives by 22% and improved fraud catch rate by 18%. Earlier, at Optionables Fintech, I managed an INR 2.5 Cr derivatives portfolio end-to-end, built Python backtesting frameworks that compressed strategy evaluation from 3 days to 6 hours, and grew margins from 8% to 12%. What I do well: take ambiguous, high-stakes problems and turn them into repeatable systems — whether that's a risk control framework, a reporting pipeline, or a product roadmap. Comfortable working across SQL, Python, VBA/Power Query, Tableau, and Power BI. Domain depth in KYC/AML, fraud detection, trading analytics, and financial operations. Open to roles in Strategy & Ops, Risk & Analytics, or Finance Operations — especially close to founders or leadership where ownership and speed matter more than title.
