Intuit

- Architect & developer of tool, for evaluating LLMs and Generative AI systems, used across Intuit. Contributor to Intuit’s Generative AI Platform covered by Forbes and Nasdaq
- Leading Generative AI experiences for TurboTax
- Led a team of Data Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers and Analysts to build and deploy a portfolio of NLP/Language models for customer feedback:
1. Transformer based text classification model which can recommend which customers need a follow up call alleviating responsibility from call centre agents. The model led to a 50% increase in call volumes, driving follow up calls for 650k customers leading to a 6% increase in customer conversion and 18% increase in yoy customer retention.
2. Transformer based sentiment model which can identify the true sentiment of customers from their feedback. Led to identification of at risk cohort of customers worth $6 Million completely unknown till now.
3. Unsupervised topic model which can identify top themes dynamically among millions of feedback verbatims and group them into those themes. Used to proactively identify software issues as well as influence product roadmap.
-  Architected and led development of a reusable, modular, scalable platform for training and deploying various NLP/Language models: from unsupervised to transformer based LLMs. The platform, with a novel config driven design, was reused by multiple other teams working on NLP/Language models. 
- Mentored 5 Data Scientists
- Setup vision, roadmap for the team after co-ordinating with senior leadership and led to successful execution of that vision.

Staff Data Scientist | Lead Machine Learning Engineer, NLP & Generative AI

- Enhanced churn model with new features and sampling strategies which led to a 4X increase in identifying churn among 50M customers. Model identified 5M at risk customers worth $500 Million for the company.
- Led the end to end development of a novel model to detect fear, uncertainty and doubt among active customers. Model drove various retention initiatives like offering chat with an expert, free upgrades, prioritization in inbound call queues, personalized marketing which led to $2 Million in incremental revenue

Senior Data Scientist | Machine Learning Engineer, Customer Growth & Retention

- Led the design and development of a credit risk machine learning model estimated to save $4 Million a year. 
- Designed, developed and shipped to production a machine learning model to gauge risk and determine payment options at checkout. The model runs on 10 Million customers and saves $2.4 Million a year. Co-owned the entire machine learning model life cycle.
- Worked with the office of the Senior Vice President to make every production machine learning model at Intuit explainable.

Senior Data Scientist | Machine Learning Engineer, Security, Risk & Fraud

- Designed, built and deployed to production a real time machine learning model to stop Account Takeovers across all Intuit products. It reduced Account Takeovers by 74% while flagging only 0.1% of the logins and improved on the previous solution by 6x. It scores >300 Million logins a month making it one of the largest models in the company. 
- Architected and built new features which improved multiple machine learning models in production in the security, risk and fraud domain. Account Takeover models  had precision lift of 2x and 2.3x while recall increased 1.8x and 1.5x. Account Sign up model had recall lift of 2.5x. Architected the codebase of the features to be modular, reusable, config driven and with 100% unit test coverage.
- Contributed a modular, reusable config generation module to Intuit AI's central Feature Store which generated more than 20,000 lines of config code saving Data Scientist time and significantly reducing errors due to manual entry.
- Introduced Explainable AI to all the production ML models of the team increasing transparency for stakeholders, uncover new behavioral patterns and help improve the models.
