Built by Amar Harolikar. He has worked as a hands-on data scientist for 25+ years, at global banks (HSBC, Standard Chartered, First Abu Dhabi Bank, Fidelity, GE Capital) and mid-size firms. He now works mainly with small and medium businesses. His client work has delivered $23M+ in signed-off incremental bottom-line impact, measured monthly.
