Arko is an Associate Director in the Data & AI team at Deloitte UK , within Tax & Legal – Digital Innovation where he leads strategy, design, and delivery of GenAI initiatives in the Tax & Legal space.
He has over 7 years of experience in the tech industry, focused on building GenAI systems at scale, including prompt architectures, hybrid RAG solutions, and multi-agent orchestration frameworks that transform complex business workflows into production-ready AI systems.
Previously, he led AI research and product development at flipped.ai, a New York University (NYU) spin-out focused on GenAI-driven talent intelligence. Before that, he built Parakrama, an AI-powered personalised geriatric care platform, which ranked in the top 10% of Y Combinator Summer ’21 applications. He has also interned at IIT Kharagpur and Hewlett Packard.
He holds a Master’s degree in Data Science with Distinction from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), where he was advised by Dr. Ignacio Castro.
Outside of work and </>, he enjoys long drives and taking time to recharge away from screens (read terminal).
