## About

```text
At Lumen Trading Co., I managed budgets and financial performance, adjusted pricing models to reflect market trends and cost structures, and worked to improve profit margins.

I also led the drafting, review, and closing of commercial agreements, while managing contract risks and commercial claims. My work connected sales, legal, finance, and operations teams.

At Ernst & Young (EY), I developed forecasting tools and financial models, and prepared and reviewed analyses for buy-side and sell-side due diligence. I also conducted sector research for power and utilities assignments.

Earlier, as an Audit Assistant at Mohan G, I prepared financial statements and performed audit procedures. I identified control weaknesses and recommended corrective actions.
