What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can build rigorous financial models, assess investments and commercial opportunities, and turn market and operating data into clear decision support.

I build demand-driven financial models and investment analyses that connect market adoption, sales volumes, capacity utilization, CAPEX timing, and investment viability. At Handle AE, I forecast UAE market penetration and evaluated factory expansion scenarios to identify commercially justified production investment.

Across independent sea-freight modelling and accounting roles at Centro International Interiors Design, I developed integrated forecasts, Power BI reporting, budgeting, variance analysis, cost-control insights, and procurement business cases.

I've also built a 30-year solar-plus-BESS project finance model with DSCR-based debt sculpting and Monte Carlo risk analysis, alongside a Python credit-stress early-warning system using anomaly-detection models. My work combines financial modelling, commercial analysis, and practical decision support.
