What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role in credit strategy or risk analytics where I can apply analytical rigour, turn technical findings into clear insights, and learn and grow as part of a close-knit team.

I built and evaluated ARIMA, SARIMA, LSTM, and Random Forest models to forecast GLD ETF gold prices across ten years of daily data, with ARIMA achieving a 0.95% MAPE.

For my MSc dissertation at London Metropolitan University, I managed the full pipeline across 2,514 observations: cleaning data, testing stationarity, engineering features, modelling, evaluation, and visualisation. I also documented why Random Forest failed to extrapolate during the 2024–2026 gold rally, producing a 30.91% MAPE.

I use Python, SQL, Power BI, Excel, and statistical modelling to turn technical findings into business-relevant insight. I'm keen to bring this analytical rigour to credit strategy and risk analytics while learning and growing within a close-knit team.
