Elenchus — adversarial AI forensics

Founder · Independent AI R&D Lab · 2026 — present

What if audit findings had to survive a courtroom before a human ever saw them?

Elenchus is an AI-first accounting-forensics platform — and a deliberate research lab for the patterns that will define enterprise AI. Its core idea: no single model gets to declare fraud. Every anomaly is screened against 592 forensic markers across 18 fraud signatures, then argued by a tribunal of adversarial agents — Skeptic, Advocate, Forensic Quant, Regulatory Eye, Polymath — and only findings that survive cross-examination reach the investigator, sealed into hash-chained, court-defensible evidence reports. One designer directing AI agents as the engineering team: ~274K lines of production Python, 9,200+ automated tests, 25 data connectors, and 80+ codified UX and data-visualization laws governing the design system.

BlackRock — Aladdin Studio

Director, AI Product Design · 2022 — present

Directing AI product design inside the platform that runs the world's largest asset manager.

Recruited in 2022 to lead design for BlackRock's Data & AI group; promoted to UX Director within nine months; now Director of AI Product Design for Aladdin Studio — the product-building layer of the Aladdin platform, spanning roughly $16 trillion in assets under management. The work: 115+ prototypes shipped in 90 days across trader applications, query builders, data exploration, and AI trade detection — built with AI agent teams. The architecture: the firm's AI Response Framework, a modular Bricks / Mini-Bricks system governed by 73 specifications, plus AI memory harnesses spanning semantic, procedural, and episodic strategies. The method: prompt-to-design, POC-before-PRD — working prototypes precede requirements — with time-to-task-completion as the core UX success metric. And the multiplier: workshops that teach designers and Managing Directors prompt craftsmanship and multi-agent orchestration.

Imagery from this chapter is deliberately withheld — Aladdin is an internal institutional platform, and this portfolio respects that boundary. The work speaks through its scale and its narrative.

GE — Finance Data Lake

Global Head of Experience Design · Dec 2018 — Jun 2022

Turning a data lake into something GE's global finance organization could actually use.

Recruited into GE full-time on the strength of multi-year GE-vertical work at TCS — including GE Innovator of the Year — I owned experience design globally for the Finance Data Lake product suite: the FP&A and financial-reporting platforms serving finance organizations across GE's industrial businesses, through the company's most intense period of financial transformation. MyFDL was the personalized front door: a widget-standards system (Compass) that made every KPI, headcount, and spend visualization composable; global profiles that made dashboards governed, shareable objects; and a data-visualization standard iterated across dozens of documented versions. That enterprise finance-data fluency became the foundation for Elenchus.

The industrial AI & AR era — TCS × GE

Global Head of Emerging Technologies & Fintech · Nov 2015 — Dec 2018

Designing the AI-first enterprise a decade early: a CFO cockpit you could talk to, and turbines you could see through.

The CFO who talked to software

Leading TCS's global emerging-tech practice — 18 UX principals backed by a 50+ person innovation team across Atlanta, NYC, London, Pune, Hong Kong, and the UAE — I delivered 90+ Fortune 50 engagements applying AI/ML, computer vision, AR/VR, NLP, and IoT, winning $12M+ through art-of-the-possible pitches and rapid prototyping. The signature GE work: the CFO Cockpit, which let finance leaders speak a question — "what are the top savings suggestions to reduce travel costs 30% in the next 90 days?" — get ranked, simulated options, and initiate a $3.1M policy change that drafted itself for review. In 2017, that was science fiction with a ship date. Elsewhere in the practice: a computer-vision + AI loan-processing solution servicing $1.2T in annual contracts — eliminating 95% of manual-entry errors and cutting employee turnover 40%.

Seeing through steel — the HoloLens digital twin

The full GE Power HoloLens application, boardroom to plant floor. The headset reads a QR code and summons a live gas-turbine digital twin; voice commands and pinch gestures drive health heatmaps, stage isolation, and repair actions — through to a confirmed transaction routed for approvals. Step through the actual flow, in sequence.

The pitch that argued against its own hardware

Not every engagement ended in pixels. For Delta, I authored a 25-page technology landscape — BLE protocols, beacon hardware, signal physics, indoor-positioning platforms, flow-analytics vendors — to answer one question: how do you guide a passenger through an airport? The recommendation that won the room was to install none of it. Delta already owned the cameras in its terminals and the app in its passengers' pockets — computer-vision passenger-flow tracking plus in-app notifications delivered the outcome in software, with zero new hardware to buy, mount, or maintain. Solution architecture is the other half of the practice: knowing when the right answer isn't the technology you were asked to evaluate.

The research artifact — hardware landscape, signal physics, vendor analysis. Third-party sources cited throughout; the recommendation was original.
