Prasoon Shukla is a data scientist and engineer with 11 years of experience building end-to-end ML and data microservices for payments and credit products, currently working on payments at Stripe and co-founding Lumen Payments. He pairs a strong academic foundation in applied mathematics and optimization from IIT Roorkee with a development-heavy approach, shipping well-tested, modular systems that drive measurable business impact. His work spans credit and expected-loss models, identity verification, transaction categorization, anomaly detection for financial time series, and scalable market-data storage at Goldman Sachs. Notable for shipping production ML systems at Klarna, N26, and Stripe, he also brings a long history of open-source contributions as a three-time Google Summer of Code participant. He focuses on pragmatic tooling—fast data labeling, in-house validation, and efficient retrieval frameworks—that accelerate model development and governance. Based in Berlin, he combines product-focused engineering with quantitative rigor to reduce fraud, improve conversion, and operationalize risk.
