What I'm looking for

I seek a finance/fintech operations role where I apply trading operations, risk management and automation skills to improve controls, collaborate cross-functionally, and deliver data-driven process improvements.

I am a finance and fintech operations specialist with extensive experience in trading operations, risk management and process automation across FX, derivatives, fixed income and equities. I design and implement end-to-end reporting and control solutions that improve data accuracy and operational efficiency.

At Dukascopy and EXANTE I led system optimizations and control improvements that reduced trade processing time by 15%, decreased operational errors by 10%, lowered trading risk by 5% and helped prevent potential losses exceeding €2M. As a consultant I delivered data-driven trading system and liquidity-management solutions, reconciled complex FX positions and managed SWIFT confirmations for timely settlement.

I collaborate closely with IT and business teams to automate workflows, strengthen limits and margin controls, and enable better decision-making through reporting and Power BI visualizations. I am looking to join a fintech or capital markets team where I can apply my SQL, analytics and hands-on operations experience to drive measurable operational improvements.
