Buy-side Analyst turned AI Engineer
Three years inside hedge-fund operations showed me exactly where analysts lose their day. I reduced some of that friction by building pipelines to automate recurring OMS/PMS workflows, Compliance checks, Trade control, and Risk alerts. Now, going after real operational leverage, I design and ship agentic AI that fund managers can actually adopt – all backed by strong guardrails and evaluation. From Trade Ops to AI Ops, I got you covered.

When a P&L looked off, a valuation needed defending, or a trade broke, clients escalated to me — fund accounting, performance, valuation, and risk across multi-asset portfolios. Beyond answering the questions, I automated OMS and PMS workflows, managed market-data vendors, and trained junior analysts.
Then I went to master the other side. At UW–Madison I learned to engineer agentic AI and shipped it outside finance to prove the skill travels. For MSA Professional Services, I delivered agent-run ETL pipelines in Microsoft Fabric that documented decades of ERP data, with copilot agents on top so users could query the data in plain English. For another firm, I built an Azure AI decision-support tool that automated the statistical analysis step in a steel-parts manufacturing process.
Same vision, new tooling: be the one people can rely on. I ship AI agents with the guardrails and evaluation to earn that reliance — data pipelines and cloud deployment included. Spring 2026 graduate, open to relocation.

Three years in a drama club — scripting, directing, acting. Our most memorable chapter: finishing third out of twenty at ACTFest Rangmanch 2019, performing Sharad Joshi's timeless satirical classic, एक था गधा.
I am a spiritual person who follows Jainism. In August of 2017, I did what's called an Atthai — a completely optional, voluntary practice — and what I didn't fully appreciate at the time was how defining it would become.
Back in 2020, while working at Jio Creative Labs, my team and I created a new IP called Comics for Change — a live comedy event with a purpose. The idea was simple but ambitious: invite top stand-up comedians to perform sets tied to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
Kalsubai. Standing at 5,400 feet above sea level, it is the highest peak in Maharashtra — affectionately known as the "Everest of Maharashtra." In July 2019, my roommates and I decided we were going to climb it.
