What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my analytical skills in a dynamic environment, with opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I am a dedicated research analyst with over six years of experience in financial modeling and analysis. Currently, I am building financial models for the Malaysian equity market at Alphalytix Consulting, where I utilize Python and perform in-depth statistical analyses. My academic background includes a Master’s degree in Economics and Muamalat, where I achieved a CGPA of 3.74, and a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, supported by a government scholarship.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong analytical skill set, which I have applied in various roles, including as a Graduate Research Assistant at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, where I created a corporate governance disclosure index for Takaful operators. My passion for research and writing has led me to publish academic works and novels, contributing to both educational and literary fields. I thrive in environments that challenge me to exceed expectations and deliver high-quality results.
