• Led a cross-functional team of 9 data scientists and ML engineers in the end-to-end development of Deep Learning and LLM frameworks, integrating Azure invoice-reading capabilities to parse unstructured PDFs. This automation slashed AP processing time by 43% (45 hours/day) and established a robust fraud prevention loop that identified ~$17.58M in annual discrepancies (e.g., overcharges and unauthorized billing).

• Designed and evaluated data classification and anomaly detection models, utilizing advanced techniques to resolve training data class imbalance. These models improved Capex classification and detected invoice discrepancies with 92% accuracy, ultimately lowering financial irregularities by 21% compared to baseline methods.

• Architected a multi-agent RAG chatbot automating the full customer service lifecycle (NLP intent recognition to resource assignment), cutting job creation time by 63%.

• Predictive maintenance algorithms to optimize job scheduling, reducing downtime by 12% and classifying warranty inconsistencies at 72% efficiency.

• Fine-tuned and deployed Large Language Models (LLMs) to detect defects in unstructured service sheets, shifting maintenance strategy from reactive to preventive and reducing reactive jobs by 23%.

• Developed a Generative AI knowledge retrieval system utilizing advanced SOTA chunking strategies and semantic search indexing. The solution extracts, validates, and summarizes critical data from large-scale repositories, drastically reducing manual search latency and boosting internal workflow productivity.

• Spearheaded digital transformation initiatives integrating IoT sensor data into core business processes, driving enterprise-wide adoption of data-driven decision-making.

• Designed and delivered AI upskilling programs for cross-functional stakeholders, fostering a data-driven culture and accelerating AI adoption across the organization.
