What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply financial modelling, forecasting, reporting, and data analysis skills in a role where I can turn complex financial data into decision-ready insights and continue developing in investment, risk, or corporate finance.

I've built Python and Excel financial models spanning NGX portfolio construction, credit risk classification, commodity contract pricing, and equity volatility forecasting. My NGX engine analysed 125 listed equities across 497 trading sessions and produced a 15-stock portfolio with a 2.34 Sharpe ratio.

At Hinata Cargoes, I designed financial dashboards for cash flow, budget variance, and cost-per-unit KPIs, helping senior management make budgeting and capital-allocation decisions. I bring an accounting background, CFA Level I candidacy, and practical skills in advanced Excel, Power BI, SQL, Python, reporting, controls, and audit documentation.
