- Researched and designed robust feature engineering pipelines tailored for financial time series forecasting, significantly improving data quality and predictive performance.- Explored a wide range of deep learning architectures for sequence modeling, including RNN-based models, attention mechanisms, Transformers, convolutional networks, and various hybrid models to address the complexities of financial market trends and volatility. Presented findings and demonstrated significant performance enhancements over baseline models to stakeholders.

- As a Tech Equity Analyst, I conducted in-depth research on companies within the technology sector. Leveraging DCF models and concise one-pagers, I presented actionable insights and investment recommendations to an asset management firm, supporting data-driven decision-making.

- Off-cycle internship where I developed multi-asset financial portfolios through the application of constrained optimization techniques, enhancing portfolio performance.- Designed and implemented robust backtesting frameworks, including Monte Carlo simulations, to evaluate and validate portfolio strategies.- Explored and applied clustering algorithms for comprehensive risk assessment and management.
