I am a derivatives data analyst specializing in risk analysis and quantitative modeling.
PortugalWhat I'm looking for
I am a derivatives-focused data analyst with strong academic grounding in statistics, information management and financial markets, including a Master's specialization in Risk Analysis and a postgraduate ranking among the top of the class.
At BNP Paribas I led initiatives that reduced FX trading agreement execution time, improved onboarding/offboarding efficiency, and strengthened controls over OTC and exchange-traded derivatives documentation, while performing reconciliations, internal audits and exposure analysis for front office teams.
I build quantitative models and tools in Python and R — from credit scoring to longevity-linked valuations — and hold FRM Part I certification; I prioritize clear SOPs, data-driven risk metrics and collaborative process improvements to reduce operational and counterparty risk.
