About

Risk analyst with hands-on experience across market risk, derivatives, and risk process automation. I specialize in building scalable tools and analytical frameworks that enhance transparency, accuracy, and efficiency across trading and risk operations. My work spans daily P&L and VaR reporting, model performance monitoring, stress testing, and reconciliation, with a focus on driving continuous improvements through automation and data analytics. I'm experienced in working with Python, SQL, Excel/VBA, and visualization tools to streamline processes and support data-driven decisions. With a strong understanding of derivatives, pricing models, and capital requirements, I collaborate closely with front-office, compliance, finance and model validation teams to ensure robust controls and clear risk insights in fast-paced environments.
