What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build and maintain quantitative fixed-income models, partner with portfolio teams, and turn complex analysis into fast, risk-aware investment decisions with strong data and stakeholder collaboration.

I’m a Quantitative Investment Analyst with 3+ years of experience across fixed income markets, financial services, and investment analytics, specializing in quantitative model development to identify mispricing and assess yield opportunities. I translate complex analytics—like yield curve dynamics, duration risk, and credit spread movements—into clear, actionable insights for portfolio managers and senior stakeholders.

In my work, I apply advanced statistical and mathematical techniques to evaluate interest rate environments, credit risk, and liquidity conditions, consistently structuring recommendations that align risk-adjusted returns with portfolio objectives. I also bring a strong research and modeling foundation from roles that combined fundamental research, predictive financial modeling, actuarial and valuation techniques, and automated dashboards—improving forecasting accuracy and reducing reporting turnaround time.
