Summary

MSc Data Science graduate with a strong foundation in quantitative analysis and a dissertation on “Machine Learning Techniques for Exchange Rate Forecasting.” Recent experience at TTG Capital involved building spreadsheets and Python tools for SONIA and other interest rate futures. I used these to streamline data workflows, improve data quality, and deliver clear, time sensitive summaries for stakeholders. Earlier experience at ICE, BGL Markets, and RBC Capital Markets provided practical insight into derivatives, desk operations, and market structure, which I translate into organised reporting, careful controls, and clear communication. I am motivated to apply these analytical and technical skills to improve decision making, reporting cycles, and process efficiency in a collaborative team. Outside work, I stay informed on current affairs and politics and develop strategic thinking through gaming.
