Summary
Akash Mondal is a pragmatic data scientist with 9 years of experience applying AI, ML, and deep learning to high-stakes financial problems across credit, fraud, and marketing. Trained at IIT Kharagpur, he built end-to-end ML suites and production-grade pipelines at American Express, driving POS authorization and negative actioning decisions for US consumer portfolios. He led AI governance and interpretability efforts, optimizing GPU-accelerated Dask and PySpark solutions and integrating LLMs to extract credit risk signals for underwriting. Now at Amazon as a Data Scientist II, he blends research-grade uncertainty quantification (MC Dropout, deep ensembles, novel gradient-boosting approaches) with scalable engineering practices. Colleagues know him for turning complex regulatory and interpretability requirements into auditable, performant systems that balance model accuracy with operational constraints. He maintains a technical portfolio online, reflecting a continuous curiosity for production ML and algorithmic innovation.
