Bio
Ram I.
I worked with Vamsi while we were in the process of onboarding a top 5 North American financial institution. Vamsi is one of those rare individuals who possesses technical expertise coupled with soft client skills. He has the ability to convert technical jargon into layman talk. In a short period of time Vamsi won the client’s confidence, trust, and became the

I had the pleasure of working with Vamsi at Feedzai on a high-value project that presented significant challenges. This project involved delivering a machine learning model that could meet high standards set out by the client on a tight deadline. Vamsi blends technical proficiency with a high degree of professionalism and effective communication with the client, and these skills were on clear display throughout the course of the project. For example, on many occasions Vamsi diplomatically aligned the client's expectations on questions of technical feasibility, and helped lead the effort in roadmapping the project. Vamsi also showed a willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure smooth execution of the work. For instance, before the completion of the project, Vamsi worked tirelessly to ensure that all technical requirements were met. In short, Vamsi showed great ownership of the project. The project was successful and the benefits to the company were substantial. Since then, I have repeatedly been witness to Vamsi's rare combination of exemplary technical and soft skills. As a data scientist, team player, and leader, Vamsi has my highest recommendation.
