Hi, I'm
Delphin Kaduli
I build machine learning systems that protect financial decisions with accuracy, clarity, and engineering discipline, models built for the real world, not just a notebook.

What Drives Me
I didn’t start in data by chasing models, I started by trying to understand how systems behave. What began as curiosity about patterns and signals grew into a commitment to building tools that help people make clearer, more confident decisions.
Today, I focus on fraud detection, risk analytics, and the data systems that support them. I care about clean pipelines, reliable features, and models that hold up in production, not just in a notebook. My work blends engineering discipline with a mindset shaped by faith, family, and movement. I believe great systems outperform great individuals, and I bring that philosophy into every collaboration.
Looking ahead, I’m driven by one question: does the system help someone make a better call? That’s the standard I build toward from ingestion to validation, modeling to deployment, and everything in between.
Projects
My work focuses on the intersection of Fraud Detection, Risk Analytics, Predictive Systems, and Data Engineering.
Fraud Detection System
Delivered 0.93 Precision and 0.82 Recall on a 0.17% imbalanced dataset - 93% of flagged transactions were confirmed fraud.
Demand Forecasting System
Achieved a 51% MAE reduction with a production-ready 12-hour demand forecasting pipeline deployed via Docker and cloud infrastructure.
ETL Pipeline and Quality
Delivered a 100% clean data SLA across 1M+ records/day with automated quality checks and sub-4-minute pipeline cycles.
Customer Churn Prediction
Identified the Tenure Effect - customers in their first 12 months are the highest-risk segment, enabling proactive retention strategies.
