I build quantitative models, software, and teams for portfolio, risk, derivatives, and regulated investment platforms.
MoroccoWhat I'm looking for
I founded Ephiquant Ltd, a quantitative firm serving asset managers, banks, family offices, and institutional allocators. We build models, deliver software, and train teams across portfolio construction, risk, derivatives pricing, and execution.
As Chief Quantitative Officer at FinaMaze, I led the quantitative and technology function for an FSRA-regulated robo-advisory platform. I owned the analytics and data infrastructure behind live client portfolios and set technical direction for portfolio, valuation, and performance systems.
I built and led a cross-functional team of five, delivered the firm's institutional banking integration and first B2B deployment, and established operational discipline for running client money under regulation.
I also lecture in Portfolio Management at ENCG Casablanca and hold a PhD in Quantitative Finance. My earlier experience includes consulting, credit analysis at Attijariwafa bank, and financial analysis at CDG Capital.
