Driven Finance graduate with expertise in quantitative finance and AI.
What I'm looking for
I am a Finance and Decision Engineering graduate with a strong foundation in quantitative finance, financial modeling, and AI-driven decision support. My academic journey has equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in the financial sector, particularly in algorithmic trading and risk management. I have a proven track record of developing AI-enhanced financial tools that optimize decision-making processes and analyze financial markets effectively.
During my professional experience as a Retail Futures Contract Trader, I managed a proprietary trading portfolio exceeding $50,000, where I implemented data-driven trading strategies and applied risk management techniques to enhance trading efficiency. My hands-on experience has allowed me to analyze financial market trends and execute trades based on quantitative strategies, ensuring profitability and risk mitigation.
Additionally, I have worked on key projects such as Yield Curve Modeling for Fixed Income Analysis, where I developed a Python-based model to construct and analyze yield curves for government bonds. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in finance and AI to contribute to advancements in the financial industry, and I am eager to take on new challenges that allow me to grow and make a meaningful impact.
