I build reliable financial and market-data systems using SQL, analytics, and product ownership.
What I'm looking for
I've led data onboarding and index-data initiatives at Morningstar India, supporting investable products linked to Morningstar Indexes and assets benchmarked against those indexes.
As product owner for Morningstar's Total Shares Outstanding data platform, I supported 51,000+ global securities, translated investment and corporate-action requirements into delivery backlogs, and partnered with global engineers and analysts on quarterly index rebalances. I used advanced SQL, ETL logic, data modeling, reconciliation, and automated web-scrubbing workflows to improve market-data quality.
At Meteora 3D, I maintain financial models, cash-flow forecasts, accrual financial statements, project cost ledgers, and grant-budget variance analysis for NSF SBIR Phase 2 deliverables. Previously, I maintained startup books in QuickBooks and supported grant management and reporting following $275K in NSF SBIR funding.
I'm also experienced in teaching practical Excel, MS Access, SQL, and Python applications in business contexts, and have mentored and onboarded more than 100 team members across matrixed teams.
