Financial services data science and anomaly detection

Turning financial data into risk intelligence, reliable models, and decision systems.

I build production-minded analytics for credit risk, fraud signals, customer intelligence, ETL automation, and executive BI. My work connects machine learning with the practical reality of banking, fintech, and high-trust data operations.

What I do best

Applied intelligence for financial systems.

My strongest work sits where model quality, data reliability, and business trust meet.

01

Anomaly Detection

Designing detection logic for fraud, unusual customer behavior, repayment stress, and operational drift using statistical baselines, ML models, and monitoring feedback.

02

Credit Risk Intelligence

Building financial credibility features, NPL analysis workflows, customer segmentation, and risk-ready data marts for lending and portfolio decisions.

03

Data Engineering

Creating Airflow and PySpark pipelines, clean feature stores, automated reporting flows, and analytics infrastructure that teams can trust every day.

04

Executive Analytics

Turning complex financial signals into Tableau, Power BI, and SQL-backed decision views for leaders, analysts, and product teams.
