About Rishit Jakharia
Hey there! I am currently pursuing my undergraduate degree in Computer Science at IIT Delhi. A deep-seated passion for Machine Learning and Deep Learning fuels my academic journey. I find immense joy in navigating the ever-evolving landscape of technology on a global scale, always eager to stay ahead of the curve. Beyond the practical aspects, I am drawn to the mathematical foundations that underpin computer science, finding beauty and inspiration in the elegant logic and structures that form the backbone of our digital world. As an enthusiastic learner, I am not just interested in keeping up with the latest advancements but actively engaging with them. I thrive on challenges and view each one as an opportunity to expand my knowledge and skills.
Experience
Data Science Intern
May 2025 — Present · Gurugram, IN
As a Data Science Intern at Mastercard AI Garage, I have been working on addressing extreme class imbalance in large-scale datasets for fraud detection. This opportunity has allowed me to apply and expand my expertise in data sampling, statistical modeling, and evaluation within a real-world financial context. My primary focus has been on developing intelligent sampling strategies to amplify the visibility of rare fraud signals while preserving the integrity of the original data distribution. A key consideration throughout the project was ensuring the sampling strategy is resilient to dataset time drift, allowing Mastercard’s production models to maintain stable performance over shifting data distributions. This required careful design of methodology to generalize across time without overfitting to any particular window.
