What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning in data analytics.

I am an experienced Data Analyst with over three years of expertise in the cryptocurrency industry. My focus is on data-driven decision-making, market trend analysis, and blockchain analytics. I have a proven track record of leveraging advanced statistical methods and data visualization tools to extract actionable insights that enhance trading strategies and support business growth in a fast-paced, volatile market environment.

In my current role as a Middle Office Analyst at a proprietary trading company in Hong Kong, I support algorithmic crypto trading operations by managing daily reconciliations across multiple exchanges and overseeing significant asset transfers. I have successfully collaborated with internal teams and external partners to streamline processes, resulting in a 20% reduction in operational delays. My previous experience as a Lead Analyst at OpenCube.io involved spearheading data analytics initiatives to optimize real estate acquisitions for blockchain-based tokenization, where I developed a house price prediction model that achieved an accuracy of 82%.
