What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my institutional finance, trading, digital-asset, and risk-management experience in an emerging sector, particularly AI, robotics, or markets-focused roles. I'm open to relocation.

At BNP Paribas, I processed market claims and corporate-action entitlements across fixed-income and equity settlements, resolving discrepancies with major counterparties, clearing houses, and custodians. I built practical knowledge of fixed-income instruments, settlement cycles, derivatives pricing, and institutional control frameworks.

Alongside this work, I've traded FX, futures, equities, and cryptocurrency derivatives across market regimes and managed diversified equity and digital-asset portfolios. I've also evaluated DeFi protocols, operated across lending and liquidity-provision markets, and built agentic AI workflows with Claude Code to automate research, backtesting, and reporting.
