What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a growth-oriented company that values innovation and offers opportunities for professional development.

I excel in developing complex financial models that facilitate informed decision-making and project valuations using various techniques, including DCF and ROI. My analytical skills allow me to assess key performance indicators and benchmark against industry standards, optimizing project outcomes through tailored recommendations.

Previously, I worked as an Assistant Manager at K-Electric, where I managed budgets and resources effectively while providing financial expertise to cross-functional teams. My experience includes leveraging advanced data analysis to extract actionable insights and developing comprehensive project plans. I have also held positions in utilities engineering and management trainee roles, where I focused on energy efficiency and operational reliability.
