Delhi, Delhi, India
Summary
Led the design and development of a data-driven credit risk decisioning system, leveraging historical lending data to optimize loan approvals and portfolio risk management.
Highlights
Engineered an end-to-end credit risk decisioning system, utilizing historical lending data to automate and optimize loan approval, review, and rejection processes across diverse loan portfolios.
Developed and validated interpretable machine learning models (logistic regression, tree-based) for default risk prediction, employing cost-sensitive metrics to align with specific business risk appetites.
Segmented model probabilities into Low, Medium, and High-risk categories, resulting in a quantifiable reduction in expected credit losses while simultaneously enabling portfolio growth.
Performed comprehensive threshold and trade-off analyses, clearly demonstrating the impact of risk cut-off adjustments on approval rates, default rates, and overall financial losses.
