I am an aspiring, and results-focused Data Science Professional with 16+ years of experience in the banking and real estate/property management industries and a mixed academic background in Business Administration and Systems Engineering. During my tenure I developed my expertise in identifying areas to improve operational procedures, assessing investment opportunities, and mitigating risks through the extensive analysis of data and relevant information that yield positive results, business growth, and sustainability. My passion for critical analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of financial data led me to realize that the most rewarding throughout my career and what intrigues me the most is solving problems, and data provides indisputable evidence due to taking actions for a business and helps leaders make smarter decisions. This has motivated me to start a training program in Data Science and Machine Learning, where I can apply my knowledge of financial theory and financial modeling systems and practices related to risk assessment, probability trends, actuarial survival models, and investment portfolio management in my work. So, now, in industry, this passion for finance and financial analysis remains with me. There’s certainly so much more to learn, yet more problems to be solved.As my favorite motto is: “Change is the natural flow of things, while a problem or symptom is considered as a resistance to this change”, I firmly believe that any problem can be transformed into an opportunity I can leverage to drive business success.
