Saurabh Gupta is a technology leader and AI innovator with over 18 years of hands-on experience spanning across software development, data engineering, enterprise architecture, AI & Machine Learning. His career is defined by solving complex, large-scale problems, building and scaling high-performing teams, and tightly aligning technology initiatives with business objectives to deliver measurable impact. Saurabh pioneered a patented AI-powered metadata discovery & classification engine that solves one of the critical challenges in enterprise data management: inconsistent, multilingual, and ambiguous metadata. Leveraging AI & ML techniques like contextual metadata disambiguation, generalized structured data discovery, feature extraction, latent representation learning, token embeddings, probabilistic modeling, and abbreviation expansion. The system translates raw metadata into human-readable, business-relevant terms aligned with common financial and business vocabularies using unsupervised learning, neural network embedding, and similarity score computation. This AI-powered breakthrough significantly enhances discovery accuracy, accelerates the integration of complex systems, and reduces both operational cost and time-to-value across global data programs. Building on this foundation, Saurabh developed a sensitive data auto-discovery system that identifies and classifies personally identifiable and sensitive data without scanning raw content or real data. Using metadata-driven machine learning models, the system predicts data categories, enriches metadata, and applies risk classifications automatically, enhancing enterprise data security, governance, and compliance. Finally, his innovation in compliance-aware data modeling enables automated evaluation of data models against regulatory and organizational standards. This system detects non-compliance, updates models accordingly, and ensures continuous alignment with governance frameworks, significantly mitigating regulatory risks and improving operational efficiency.

Together, Saurabh's AI-powered solutions demonstrate his technical expertise and visionary approach to enterprise data management, privacy and protection. Saurabh has demonstrate how state-of-the-art and cutting-edge AI & ML automation can solve global-scale data management challenges across regulated industry like finance, banking, healthcare, and more. These contributions creating real-world impact, and strategic business value firmly position Saurabh Gupta as a visionary technology leader and innovator whose work delivers immediate impact and long-term strategic advantage.
