What I'm looking for

I am looking for roles that combine finance leadership with AI-driven investment strategies.

I am a finance professional with over 8 years of experience in financial management and accounting across various industries. Currently, I lead 'The Oldman,' a machine-learning trading framework that utilizes Python and Meta Trader 5 to provide predictive market insights. My expertise lies in financial management, operations efficiency, and compliance with regulations, all while maintaining a strong focus on detail and effective communication.

Throughout my career, I have established financial controls and significantly improved working capital management at Land Mawe Limited, especially during the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. My achievements include reducing outstanding accounts payables from 90% to 20% and developing sophisticated trading algorithms that integrate advanced AI techniques, enhancing operational reliability and profitability in algorithmic trading environments.

I am passionate about uniting corporate finance leadership with quantitative investment strategies, and I continuously seek opportunities that allow me to leverage my skills in AI and finance to drive innovative solutions in the financial markets.
