👋 Hi! I'm a Certified Fraud Examiner specializing in data visualization and fraud analytics. I'm also an AI and ML scientist in training that you might benefit from. ❤️

About Me

Hi, I'm Shaneeza. I'm drawn to the puzzles hidden in data: the unusual patterns, the outliers that don't quite fit, the stories that numbers tell when you know how to look.

As a Certified Fraud Examiner and Master's student in Business Analytics and AI at American University, I'm learning to combine fraud detection expertise with machine learning. My focus is on building models that catch what's easy to miss and creating visualizations that actually make sense to people. Because what's the point of detecting fraud if you can't explain it clearly?

What I enjoy most is turning messy, complex datasets into insights that actually matter. Whether it's spotting unusual patterns or finding better ways to present risk, I'm constantly working on projects that push my skills forward and solve real problems.

I believe good fraud analytics is equal parts technical skill and clear communication, and I'm committed to getting better at both. Every project teaches me something new, and that's what keeps me hooked.
