Hi! I'm Ashutosh Parab, MSc in Business Analytics and Decision Sciences Graduate from the University of Leeds. I have a Bachelor's in Computer Science and hands-on experience in business analysis and data science.
My journey began with computer science fundamentals and evolved into specialized fraud detection research. My dissertation on P2P cryptocurrency fraud achieved groundbreaking results with 96.2% ROC-AUC, identifying 39 validated fraud indicators and proving that fraud occurs instantaneously rather than evolving over time.
When I'm not developing fraud detection algorithms or analyzing behavioral patterns, you can find me exploring new ML algorithms, working on data visualization projects, or sharing insights about business analytics and decision science.
