What I'm looking for

I seek analytics roles where I can apply ML and financial modeling to drive measurable business impact, collaborate cross-functionally, and grow technically.

I am a business analytics professional with hands-on experience in financial modeling, machine learning, and ETL pipeline development. I combine quantitative rigor with domain knowledge in finance to deliver actionable insights and measurable performance improvements.

At Deloitte IBond, I led development of an AI-powered credit model and built dynamic SQL/Python data pipelines, cutting processing time and reducing rating deviation by 50%. I also improved default prediction accuracy by 15% and stabilized models by automating modular code practices.

Previously, I produced sector research and valuation models at China Fortune Securities, creating 15 company reports and performing DCF and PE analyses to inform investment decisions in power semiconductors and superconducting industries.

I am proficient in Python (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn), R, SQL, and BI tools like Tableau and Power BI, and I seek opportunities where I can apply analytics, ML, and financial domain expertise to drive strategic outcomes.
