I build economic forecasting and strategic-intelligence products that turn data into decision-ready insights.
What I'm looking for
At Golrang Industrial Group, I own the economic logic, roadmap, analytical architecture, and Python-enabled development for HamNama and strategic-intelligence products. I build forecasting, scenario-modeling, causal-inference, and retail-ecosystem workflows that deliver practical decision support through dashboards, reports, and interactive formats.
I've also led financial-market analysis at EcoIran and Parvaz Financial Group, built credit-scoring and macro-risk workflows at Charisma, and conducted quantitative economics research at the University of British Columbia. My work connects econometric modeling, Python, data products, and clear executive communication across macroeconomics, financial markets, risk, and strategy.
