use-cases. Meta is a multinational technology conglomerate that owns and operates Facebook, Instagram,
|
Threads, and WhatsApp, among other products and services. It is one of the ten largest publicly traded
|
corporations in the U.S. and is considered one of the Big Five U.S. information technology companies. Before my
|
leadership role with Meta, I was a Vice President with Goldman Sachs in Salt Lake City, UT and a Manager,
|
Machine Learning with Dell in Phoenix, AZ. My career has spanned more than a decade and has centered around
|
building distributed systems and scalable machine learning. Areas of expertise of mine include software
|
engineering and management, cloud architecture, big data management and strategy, data security and
|
management, and continuous deployment and integration.
|
In addition to my experience, I am well-educated, holding a Master of Science degree in Business Analytics and
|
Project Management from the University of Connecticut School of Business and a Bachelor of Technology in
|
Computer Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka in India.
|
Based on my more than decade of experience in the industry and high level of education, and my observation of
|
Mr. Tiwaris career, I am expertly qualified to speak to his extraordinary ability in digital banking and financial
|
services.
|
First, I am aware of Mr. Tiwaris participation as a judge of the work of other professionals in the field through his
|
participation in the Expert evaluation committee at Meta for validation and evaluation of generative AI (Artificial
|
Intelligence) applications across Metas payment products and payment settlement systems, as they released
|
llama and llama2 models. Mr. Tiwari evaluates the underlying variable, development architecture and domain
|
policies of the AI models across Payment applications. His deep understanding of Payment flows and associated
|
dependencies helps Meta make decisions on associated changes and choices around model specific choices. He
|
had been part of the evaluation committee for last 2 years.
|
I am also aware of Mr. Tiwaris membership in Metas AI for Payments Panel, an organization in the field that
|
requires outstanding achievement of its members, as judged by recognized national or international experts in
|
their field.
|
Mr. Tiwari has an exceptional reputation in the industry, as evidenced by his participation as a judge of the work
|
of others in his field and his membership in an organization that requires outstanding achievement of its
|
members . There is no question in my mind that Mr. Tiwari is an individual who has risen to the top 1-2% of
|
experts in his field. His unique contributions to digital banking and financial services on a widespread scale make
|
him a critically important source of change and disruption in the field. He personifies an individual of
|
extraordinary ability and I wholeheartedly endorse him for that visa classification.

Dear Sir/Madam
|
RE : Sid Tiwari
|
Sid let me know that he is applying for a green card, and I am writing to provide some input on his expertise.
|
I have known Sid for a number of years, our first meeting being several years ago when we were petitioning various
|
companies for expertise on a "payments platform of the future. Sid was clearly the expert on the McKinsey team and
|
gave multiple presentations representing his company on how to imagine such a platform. Sid was clearly an expert
|
in the realm of the payments ecosystem. He has had a good amount off experience in consulting, banking and
|
technology, and is able to offer advice and expertise on building or improving service offerings, using a set of
|
financially and regulatory compliant and innovative solutions to ensure that the product offering is cutting-edge and
|
controlled in all the right ways.
|
My name is Debra Ameerally, and I am currently a director on the AIML organization at Apple Inc. I have previously
|
worked in Payments for several years here at Apple. I am a seasoned e-commerce professional, with broad expertise
|
and experience in online commerce, including analyses and strategy, with a strong IT background in large corporate
|
systems.
|
I would not hesitate to recommend Sid as a thought leader in the field of payments/financial services/digital banking.
|
He is very capable and leaves no stone unturned once he dives into a project. He thinks through all aspects of a
|
problem to provide the best long-term solutions.
|
On a personal note, I have always found Sid to be an upstanding character, with lots of integrity and a kind and
|
generous nature. He has become a great friend. He would be an asset to any community.
|
Please do not hesitate to let me know if I can answer any questions for you regarding Sids work with us. Much of our
|
work is confidential, but I may be able to answer at a general level. You can contact me by email or phone; I attach
|
my contact information in the signature below.

Best regards,
