What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior-level analyst roles in banking/capital markets where I can lead data-driven solutions, improve risk and compliance reporting, and collaborate across product, engineering, and compliance teams to deliver measurable business impact.

I am a senior business analyst with over 10 years of experience in banking and finance, focused on capital markets, fixed income, derivatives, risk reporting, and KYC/compliance initiatives. I have led data migration, ETL, and trading-platform projects, partnering closely with traders, SMEs, and cross-functional teams to translate complex requirements into production solutions.

My technical strengths include advanced SQL, Tableau, Excel, SAS, Python, and hands-on work with Oracle, SQL Server, Informatica, and data warehousing. I produce BRDs, FSDs, TRDs, UML artifacts, test plans, and dashboards to support decision-making and regulatory reporting.

I deliver measurable value by improving data quality, accelerating regulatory responses, and implementing reporting and monitoring tools for liquidity, credit, and market risk — consistently driving cross-team collaboration and successful UAT and production deployments.
