Dr. Uzair Javaid is the CEO and Co-Founder of Betterdata AI, a company focused on Programmable Synthetic Data generation using Generative AI and Privacy Engineering. Betterdata’s technology helps data science and engineering teams easily access and share sensitive customer/business data while complying with global data protection and AI regulations.
Previously, Uzair worked as a Software Engineer and Business Development Executive at Merkle Science (Series A $20M+), where he worked on developing taint analysis techniques for blockchain wallets. 

Uzair has a strong academic background in Computer Science/Engineering with a Ph.D. from National University of Singapore (Top 10 in the world). His research focused on designing and analyzing blockchain-based cybersecurity solutions for cyber-physical systems with specialization in data security and privacy engineering techniques. 

In one of his PhD. projects, he reverse engineered the encryption algorithm of Ethereum blockchain and ethically hacked 670 user wallets. He has been cited 600+ times across 15+ publications in globally reputable conferences and journals, and has also received recognition for his work including Best Paper Award and Scholarships. 

In addition to his work at Betterdata AI, Uzair is also an advisor at German Entrepreneurship Asia, providing guidance and expertise to support entrepreneurship initiatives in the Asian region. He has been actively involved in paying-it-forward as well, volunteering as a peer student support group member at National University of Singapore and serving as a technical program committee member for the International Academy, Research, and Industry Association.

Smart Regulatory Reporting with Betterdata's AI Powered RAG System for Banks and Financial Institutions

Summary:
  • Automated compliance matrix generation and smart regulatory reporting cut weeks of analyst effort to hours.
  • Multimodal RAG plus fine-tuned LLMs deliver contextual accuracy and template fidelity.
  • On-prem, low-compute deployment keeps regulators and your CISO happy.

Bank-level compliance is becoming more complex every quarter, yet many risk and finance teams still rely on spreadsheets and manual cross-checks, resulting in three- to five-day turnaround times, costly resubmissions, and an audit risk. Betterdata’s Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platform solves compliance and regulatory challenges with multimodal AI, synthetic data, and on-prem deployment built for air-gapped environments.

1. How Betterdata’s RAG Architecture Works:

Traditional Approaches Fall Short,

  • Fragmented data sources: Core banking, internet banking, credit systems, and policy docs all live in silos.
  • Manual reconciliations: Analysts spend days matching figures across MAS 610, Basel III, FATF, and internal templates.
  • High error & resubmission rates: Up to 20 % of filings bounce back for corrections, inflating both cost and risk. ​

Betterdata’s Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platform is a transformative solution that addresses these challenges and elevates enterprise regulatory reporting capabilities. 

a. Multimodal Knowledge Indexing

Text, tables, and images are extracted, semantically chunked, and embedded into a vector database. Contextual retrieval adds extra metadata to every chunk so the LLM understands exactly where a clause sits inside AML guidance or MAS notices.

b. Intelligent Query Rewriting

User questions (“Does our policy align with AML?”) are expanded into multiple domain-specific variations, boosting recall and surfacing hidden gaps. ​

c. Fine-Tuned LLMs & Tabular Reasoning

A lightweight vision-language model (e.g., Qwen2.5-VL-3B) plus TableGPT2-7B interprets charts and regulatory returns, while a separate fine-tuned LLM reproduces your compliance-matrix layout pixel-perfect—no post-editing required.

d. Audit-Grade Logging

Every retrieval, suggestion, and final output is timestamped for audit trails, satisfying internal governance and external regulators. ​

e. Deployment in Secure, Low-Compute Environments

The full stack peaks at 12 GB GPU RAM for compliance-matrix generation and 32 GB for full regulatory-reporting mode, well within a high-end laptop or on-prem server. CPU-only configurations are also supported, crucial for banks that restrict GPU-enabled clouds.

2. Proven ROI for Tier-1 Institutions

Betterdata KPI Impact
KPI Before Betterdata After Betterdata Improvement
Compliance matrix turnaround 3–5 days < 3 hours ≈ 95 % faster
Reconciliation time 3–5 days < 2 hours 95 % faster
Annual Ops cost $2 M $300–400 K 70–80 % saved
Human error rate 8–12 % < 1 % > 90 % reduction

Betterdata’s AI-native approach lets you move from reactive reporting to real-time compliance intelligence, without compromising on-prem security. Book a technical demo to see the RAG engine identify a policy gap and auto-build a mitigation plan in minutes.
