About Akshay

I am a passionate technology leader specializing in Machine Learning (ML) Platforms and Operations, Data Science and AI. Over the years, I have built ML platforms and teams from the ground up, designed and implemented feature stores from scratch, developed orchestration and feature workflow management systems, and created AI-driven fraud detection solutions. More recently, I have leveraged large language models (LLMs) to build AI-driven risk and fraud detection systems, pushing the boundaries of how AI can enhance security and decision-making.

My journey started in an early-stage startup, where I engineered software products from the ground up, working closely with the CEO and CTO. I quickly grew into a leadership role, leading teams of data scientists, full-stack engineers, and UX designers—all while staying hands-on with backend services and platform infrastructure. That experience shaped my passion for building scalable, high-impact AI solutions that drive real-world value.

I thrive on solving complex challenges at the intersection of AI, ML, Data and Platform Infrastructure. Whether it's designing a robust ML platform, optimizing fraud detection pipelines, or orchestrating large-scale data workflows, I love building systems that are both scalable and intelligent.

Beyond technology, I’m an avid learner, always staying ahead of the latest trends in AI and ML. And yes, I’m still a Chandler Bing fan - could I be any more excited about AI?

Let’s connect and build the future together!
