What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and allows me to apply my analytical skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on impactful investment strategies.

My Master's degree in Quantitative Risk Management has equipped me with the skills to develop and implement quantitative models for effective portfolio management and risk assessment. I am passionate about leveraging advanced analytics and technology to support mission-driven investment strategies.

Throughout my career, I have gained practical experience as an independent trader, where I developed systematic investment strategies across various asset classes. My role involved conducting comprehensive market research and analysis, allowing me to forecast market movements and identify investment opportunities. Additionally, my experience as a Financial Operations Analyst honed my analytical skills and attention to detail, resulting in significant improvements in gross margins and delivery performance.
