Quantitative modeller at Barclays who built and validated climate risk models, and is modelling climate impacts on UK winter wheat yields.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
At Barclays, I built a flood and hurricane damage model for climate stress testing and back-tested it against historical repair and insurance costs. I also supported models through internal validation, automating sensitivity tests and explaining results to validators.
I maintained PCAF-aligned GHG accounting models and deployed models through an automated CI/CD pipeline supporting TCFD-aligned disclosures. I’m now building a model of how climate affects UK winter wheat yields, using geospatial and climate data.
