Soheil K.

Senior Financial Modelling Engineer

Burnaby, Canada
$60 per hour
7 jobs
$5K+ total earnings

I build financial models, simulations and data workflows for business and research questions. My work combines finance-domain knowledge with hands-on analysis, from organizing inconsistent data to testing a model and explaining its results. I'm a doctoral research associate at Concordia University, with experience in banking, asset management and applied research. For example, I've automated the integration of insurance reporting workbooks into analysis-ready financial tables and developed portfolio simulations that account for transaction costs. My research software connects analytical results to the data and code behind them. I also design finance and economics benchmarks and evaluate AI reasoning. I can help with: - Financial and economic modelling: explicit assumptions, scenarios, Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity analysis. - Empirical research and model validation: research design, data preparation, econometric analysis, robustness checks and interpretation. - Research-data pipelines: cleaning, merging, entity matching and repeatable reporting datasets. - Finance and economics AI evaluation: benchmark questions, reference reasoning, scoring criteria and error analysis. Tell me what decision or research question you're working on, what data you have and what you need delivered. We can then define a focused scope and the most useful first step.

Institutional Quant Developer | Fractional OCIO

Toronto, Canada
$125 per hour
2 jobs
$48 total earnings

Most RIAs, Family Offices, and boutique funds are relying on expensive, clunky software or fragile Excel spreadsheets to manage their portfolio construction. I build institutional-grade, bespoke Quant Engines that automate your entire back office. I am an institutional portfolio manager and quantitative developer with deep expertise in systematic portfolio construction, risk optimization, and automated reporting. I do not build generic scripts; I architect end-to-end investment infrastructure tailored specifically to your firm's investment mandate. CORE CAPABILITIES: Fractional OCIO Services: Outsourced portfolio management, rebalancing logic, and tactical asset allocation models. Mean-Variance Optimization (MVO): Custom Python engines leveraging the Ledoit-Wolf shrinkage estimator for covariance matrix modeling and advanced risk parity weighting. Bespoke Analytics & Reporting: Automated generation of institutional-grade, client-facing PDF/HTML tear sheets and stress-test reports. Market Data Pipelines: Building robust Dataverses pulling from Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg, or custom APIs with automated caching and global correlation mapping. THE VALUE PROPOSITION: If you are an RIA spending hours manually building client portfolios, running stress tests, or paying $20k/year for off-the-shelf risk software, I can build you a proprietary, automated engine that you own forever. TECH STACK: Python, Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, Scikit-Learn, Matplotlib, Tkinter, SQLite, HTML/CSS. Let's build infrastructure that scales your AUM. Message me to discuss your firm's current bottleneck.
