What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles applying ML and analytics to financial risk, regulatory reporting, or trading; collaborative teams, productionizing models, and measurable impact.

I am a Senior Data Analyst with eight years of focused experience in financial services, translating complex financial datasets into actionable insights for banking, investments, and risk management.

I build and automate ETL and ML pipelines using tools like SQL, Python, R, Databricks, Informatica, AWS, and Azure to drive regulatory compliance and real-time trading analytics.

My work has automated regulatory reporting (CCAR, Basel III, Dodd-Frank, IFRS), reduced reporting time, and improved model accuracy for credit, liquidity, and market risk assessments.

I collaborate across data engineering and data science teams to productionize fraud detection, AML, KYC, portfolio optimization, and trading-signal systems that materially improve operational efficiency and decision-making.
