Hello There! I am Shaneeza Hasnani

Certified Fraud Examiner | Aspiring Data Scientist

This is Who I am, And This is What I do

Certified Fraud Examiner. Data Scientist. Problem Solver.

I specialize in turning messy data into crystal-clear fraud detection strategies. With machine learning models hitting 99.96% accuracy and systems that slash false positives by 20%, I don't just find fraud—I prevent it before it happens.

Currently pursuing my M.S. in Business Analytics & AI at American University while working as a Fraud Data Analyst, I bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world fraud prevention.
