What I'm looking for

I seek a quantitative role where I can build automated pricing and trading systems, collaborate across trading and engineering, and drive measurable P&L and efficiency gains.

I am a quantitative finance professional with deep experience in statistical modeling, algorithm development, and data analysis across eFX, equities, bonds, and commodities. I have built and maintained automated pricing engines and delivered production solutions that improved pricing accuracy, operational efficiency, and trading performance.

My background spans front-office strategy and developer roles at global banks where I collaborated with traders and engineers through full development lifecycles, reduced processing times with Python tooling, and produced actionable client and market analyses that supported P&L improvements and product innovation.
