What I'm looking for

I seek mid-level data roles applying ML and BI in insurance, fintech, or research-driven teams with collaborative culture, opportunities to lead projects, and global impact.

I am a multilingual data analyst and AI researcher with a strong mathematical background (MMath, University of Oxford) who applies machine learning and business intelligence to real-world problems.

At HX Analytics I led the Global Pricing Index, Company Financials and Natural Catastrophe Losses streams for the Nova insurance insights portal, building automated SQL backends and interactive Power BI visualisations. At Mu Sigma I led teams using Azure SQL DB and Power BI, ran client workshops, and produced POVs and RFPs that I managed to completion.

I am currently an Advanced Computing Masters student at Tsinghua University working on Emotional Support Conversational Chatbots, and I have practical experience across Python, SQL, R, Power BI, Alteryx and machine learning methods. I completed Agile Meets Design Thinking and studied CFA Level I topics through independent study.

I bring cross-cultural experience and languages, strong stakeholder communication, and a record of operational improvements—from automating internal evaluation systems to creating forecasting dashboards for charities. I enjoy leading teams, solving complex data problems, and delivering insights that drive business decisions.
