What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a risk and analytics role where I can lead covenant monitoring and forensic modeling, automate reporting with Python, SQL, and Power BI, and help leadership reduce default exposure through early warning signals.

I’m a Quantitative Risk Professional with over 9 years in the banking sector, specializing in high-stakes portfolio monitoring and forensic financial modeling. I’ve reduced default exposure by 15% and automated reporting workstreams using Python, SQL, and Power BI to strengthen data-driven decision-making.

In my current role as a Covenant Monitoring Officer, I manage a UGX 1.4Tn loan portfolio and use early alert signals to mitigate potential defaults, while delivering covenant testing and variance analysis to senior leadership. Previously, as a Credit Administration Officer, I led forensic reconciliation for a loan under litigation—saving the bank UGX 870M in projected legal costs—and streamlined administration for a UGX 100Bn+ portfolio with 99% accuracy, improving data accuracy by 25% and ensuring 100% policy compliance in collateral perfection for 500+ facilities.
