What I'm looking for

I seek analytical finance roles (valuation, equity research, portfolio management) at growth-focused teams where I can apply AI-driven models, financial modelling, and strategic decision-making to deliver measurable investment performance.

I am an analytical finance professional with hands-on experience in financial analysis, auditing, and equity research, currently working as a Junior Financial Analyst in Kuwait. I leverage Excel, Python and data-driven methods to clean, restructure and analyze datasets that support capital budgeting and strategic deal evaluation.

I have completed internships in external audit and business development, performed inventory audits with 98% discrepancy accuracy, and managed a diversified Indian equity and ETF portfolio that returned +14% (Jan 2025). My project work includes DCF and relative valuation of NVIDIA and a multi-year COVID impact analysis on a Kuwait contracting firm.

I hold an MBA in Core Finance and a B.Com in Business Analytics, and I pursue continuous upskilling through certifications in statistics, wealth allocation, and investment banking. I am eager to apply my investment acumen, valuation expertise, and AI-driven analysis to roles that value strategic decision-making and measurable impact.
