Satyanarayana Repala

Senior Data Scientist - Level 3
Bengaluru

Summary

Experienced data scientist with a strong background in fraud detection, recommendation systems, visual search, and natural language processing (NLP). Skilled in both classical machine learning and deep learning techniques. Led projects to stop fraud and account takeovers, and built smart systems that recommend products and understand images or text. Good at working with cross-functional teams, bringing in third-party models, and making sure models are accurate, fair, and well-governed. Also experienced in using large language models (LLMs) to find trends and help businesses make better decisions.

Work History

Senior Data Scientist Level 3

Morgan Stanley
04.2024 - Current
  • Leading a team of 3 data scientists focused on fraud detection, particularly Account Takeover (ATO) prevention.
  • Generated features and business rules to block suspicious logins, transactions, and user activity in real time — covering areas like cookie spoofing and social engineering.
  • Onboarded vendor models for identity document verification and Early Warning Signals (EWS) for deposit checks during customer onboarding.
  • Serve as Model Specialist responsible for evaluating model performance and maintaining Model Risk Management (MRM) documentation.
  • Worked on an Auto Encoder-based fraud detection solution to capture behavioural patterns and detect anomalies in user activity sequences and device changes.
  • Leveraged Large Language Models (LLMs) to build an interactive system that highlights current fraud trends and patterns for easier analysis.
