I help businesses turn data into decisions that drive results.
With an MS in Mathematical Finance & FinTech from Boston University and hands-on experience at a primary US Treasury dealer, I bring a rare combination of quantitative finance expertise and modern data science skills.
What I can build for you:
- Financial data dashboards and automated reporting
- Machine learning models for prediction and classification
- NLP pipelines for sentiment analysis and text analytics
- RAG-powered AI tools using LangChain and OpenAI
- Quantitative models for risk analysis and financial forecasting
Recent projects include a real-time Financial News Sentiment Analyzer using RAG and GPT, a Bank Customer Churn prediction model, and an interactive Financial Data Dashboard, all deployed and live.
I work in Python, SQL, Pandas, Scikit-learn, LangChain, Streamlit, and PySpark. I deliver clean, documented, production-ready work. If you have a data problem that needs solving, let's talk.
