My learnings and contribution
- This was my first build from the scratch startup experience and exposure to the fast-paced fintech space.
- I was able to prioritize, plan and work on ML features that sets our product apart from the other fintech players in the market.
- I was able to take end to end ownership of the research and implementation starting from models to deployment infrastructure.
- It allowed me to expand my tech stack, role responsibilities and overall purview on the pipeline.
- This role also involved aligning a great amount with user research and market needs and be quick at adaptation.
- While gaining these new skills and product maturity, I worked on adding features to Fi's search engine and contributed to risk and user acquisition analytics.

Recommendations
Recommendations from people I worked with here:
Sanjana is amazing at what she does especially in the domain of NLU. She has contributed to the NLU-related problem statement at Fi. Her solutions are directly integrated into the product, creating a better user experience for our users. She's a very quick learner and implements solutions efficiently which was evident by how she learned graph-based modeling and used it in building the solution. From a cultural perspective, she is an amazing fit for our team. She takes a ton of initiatives to improve the existing process, share feedback, and mentor those around her. She's always available for helping and brainstorming problem statements.
Sanjana is a brilliant data scientist, highly intelligent and thorough. Her ability to break down complex problems helps her to deal with ambiguous situations. She has great communication skills to articulate complex problems and situations. Above all she is a great person who is fun to work with.
