About sarishma
I’m a Senior AI / Machine Learning Engineer with 9+ years of experience building and deploying production ML systems in regulated environments including banking, insurance, healthcare, and government.Most of my work has focused on fraud detection, risk modeling, healthcare analytics, and NLP-driven systems where accuracy, explainability, and compliance matter just as much as performance.I’ve worked hands-on across the full ML lifecycle — data preparation, feature engineering, model development, deployment, monitoring, and retraining — and have partnered closely with risk, compliance, clinical, and business teams to ensure models are practical, auditable, and reliable in production.In recent years, I’ve also been applying Generative AI and LLM-based techniques for document analysis, summarization, and decision support, using them where they genuinely add value rather than as standalone hype.I enjoy working on problems where data is messy, constraints are real, and solutions need to work at scale. I’m especially interested in roles focused on applied AI in banking, insurance, and healthcare, where trust and impact matter.
