What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Financial Analyst role where I can apply real-time risk analytics and model-building, receive structured training, and grow long-term—ideally supporting trading or decision-making with clear dashboards, reliable data, and measurable impact. Open to UK relocation.

I’m a results-driven Financial Data Analyst currently completing a Master of Financial Data Analysis, Intelligence and Security at Rennes School of Business (March 2026). I combine analytical rigour with production-grade data operations, including maintaining >98% accuracy while validating 400–600 operational records per day to support reliable reporting and audit readiness.

I’ve built and delivered finance-focused projects—from an Isolation Forest model for cryptocurrency price manipulation detection using live Binance feeds, to financial performance and distress-risk modelling with DuPont and Altman Z-Score, and a market risk analytics dashboard that computes portfolio returns, volatility, VaR/CVaR, and maximum drawdowns. I’m actively seeking a Financial Analyst role with structured training and long-term career development, and I’m open to UK relocation.
