        login/day, Fast Geolocation Hopping etc.)
        Owned the feature end-to-end and worked directly with co-founder/CTO to drive product enhancements.12/2012to05/2014Principal Data ScientistLumeris–Saint Louis,MO,Lead several big data machine learning initiatives involving the design, development and deployment of advanced
machine learning algorithms that impacted PayPal's core products allowing business to grow and scale to over 150
million customers and process over 3 billion online transactions annually.The developed solutions have directly helped
PayPal lower losses, improve user experience and increase revenue simultaneously.Few key PayPal core products
worked on are included below.PayPal ATO Models:
        Designed and developed Neural Network models to prevent account takeover activity at the time of user
        authentication.Performed feature selection from over 2000 features, and applied best practices in Neural Network
        model development.Model accurately captured 81% of incoming fraud activity and resulted in 48bps of reduction
        of losses for PayPal in 2013 freeing up capital to grow and expand margins.PayPal Here Mobile Card Reader:
        Architected the very first anti-fraud ML algorithm that enabled PayPal here product to expand and scale to over
