Nikhil Xavier is a Lead Senior Data Scientist (AVP) based in Singapore with nine years of experience building and operationalizing advanced ML solutions across finance, insurance, mobility, and ADAS. At DBS he leads propensity, time-series forecasting and NLP efforts for customer experience and targeted campaigns, and co-developed an internal SMART-ML package to streamline end-to-end model development. Previously at Aon he architected sequence-to-sequence and attention-based deep learning systems, founded the NLP/deep learning chapter, and scaled models that served millions of employees using Spark and H2O. He combines research-level rigor (NUS master’s in ML and multiple DeepLearning.AI certifications) with pragmatic production delivery, having deployed models for credit, driver allocation, and insurance share-of-wallet. Notably, he blends hands-on engineering—building custom frameworks like RedVine and open tooling—with program leadership to upskill teams and embed ML into business workflows.
