Senior Manager @ RBC · Toronto → North America · IIT Guwahati · UdeM M.Sc.

I build the infrastructure that gets AI into production inside regulated environments — decision strategy engines, MCP agent frameworks, feature stores for LLM-queryable analytics, and the SDLC guardrails that keep all of it compliant. Not a researcher. Not a consultant. Someone who ships.


What I build

Credit Risk Infrastructure

Productionalizing strategies & models across retail credit portfolios. Feature harmonisation pipelines that make credit risk signals queryable by conversational AI. Legacy system decommissioning with regulatory artefact management.

Domain: Retail credit Strategies & Models · Product Owner · AI-enablement

Agentic AI Systems

MCP agents that reduce deployment errors and tighten change management inside Agile delivery cycles at a Big 5 bank. Bioinformatic ML pipelines. RAG systems over structured financial and clinical data.

Stack: Python · MCP · LangChain · SQL · PowerBI · Agentforce

Life Sciences × Data

IIT Guwahati biotech foundation + M.Sc. in molecular biology and cellular medicine + 14 months in clinical research operations. Published in neuroimmunology. Eyes on AI applications in drug discovery and clinical data infrastructure.

Domain: Genomics · Clinical ops · HIPAA · ALCOA


Current stack

Language      Python · SQL · DAX · VBA
AI/Agents     MCP · LangChain · LlamaIndex · OpenAI API · Anthropic API
Data          Snowflake · MySQL · PowerBI · Pandas · NumPy · BioPython

What I'm building toward

The gap I keep running into: banks and fintechs have the models. They don't have the infrastructure to get those models into production in a way that survives a regulatory audit, a change freeze, and a 3am incident simultaneously. That gap — between AI capability and AI deployment in regulated environments — is what I'm focused on closing.

Long-term: I want to work at the intersection of credit risk infrastructure, agentic AI deployment, and healthcare data systems — the three sectors where the cost of getting AI wrong is high enough that human-in-the-loop engineering will always matter.


Connect

I'm not on here to network broadly. If you're working on something at the intersection of production AI deployment, credit infrastructure, or clinical data systems — and you want to have a real conversation about what that actually looks like inside a regulated environment — reach out.
