Ex-UBS quantitative risk specialist delivering algorithmic trading, derivatives pricing, and portfolio advisory results.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am an Ex-UBS Quantitative Risk & Wealth Management specialist with 7+ years' experience in derivatives market risk, valuation, and HNI/NRI portfolio advisory. I combine strong quantitative methods—Monte Carlo, stochastic volatility models, PDE/CFD techniques—and practical trading experience to deliver measurable results.
At UBS I performed Independent Price Verification for complex vanilla and exotic derivatives across global desks, built and optimized valuation methodologies, and automated processes to reduce manual effort by 30%. As an independent consultant I engineered hedging frameworks and commodity risk solutions, expanded advisory AUM to over ₹100 Crores, and consistently delivered 18.5% annualised risk-adjusted returns.
I build algorithmic trading systems and portfolio strategies in Python, integrate broker APIs for automation, and collaborate with cross-border risk teams to strengthen governance. I seek quantitative, risk, or FinTech roles where I can apply rigorous pricing, automation, and portfolio construction skills to drive risk-managed performance and scalable solutions.
