What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply data, statistical modeling, and uncertainty reasoning to credit decisions, risk strategy, underwriting, and portfolio outcomes while continuing to grow in consumer lending and decision science.

At Hedge-Tech, I analyze large financial datasets for major financial institutions, turning portfolio trends, inconsistencies, and risk signals into decision-ready recommendations.

I build and maintain automated risk-analysis and reporting workflows, with data-quality checks, reproducibility reviews, script validation, and root-cause investigation when outputs or processes fail. My work brings together Python, SQL, statistical learning, simulation, model comparison, and clear communication of assumptions and tradeoffs.

I'm building deeper capability in credit decisioning, underwriting, scorecards, approval and loss tradeoffs, and consumer-lending strategy while completing an MA in Statistics and Data Science.
