What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and allows me to leverage my data science skills in a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated Data Scientist and ICT Risk Specialist with a strong background in machine learning and predictive analytics. Currently, I work at the European Central Bank, where I advise Joint-Supervisory Teams on evaluating and mitigating risks related to Cyber Resilience and Third-Party Risk. My role involves developing ML-driven risk assessment tools that enhance risk detection capabilities and producing dashboards to track non-financial risks, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

In my previous roles, I have gained extensive experience in data analysis and financial reporting, notably as a Middle Office Reconciliation Officer at BNP Paribas, where I improved monitoring processes through Python tools. My academic achievements include a Master’s degree in Information Management, where I graduated in the top 5% of my cohort, and my thesis focused on machine learning applications in E-Government.
