I am a Data Scientist, Business Intelligence Specialist, and Financial Modeler with a multidisciplinary foundation in accounting, finance, credit risk, valuation, business intelligence, and data science. I specialise in combining financial expertise with data-driven technologies to transform complex financial and operational data into actionable insights and decision-support solutions.
My financial expertise includes financial statement analysis, credit risk assessment, the 5 Cs of Credit, forecasting, valuation, and financial modelling, including Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), Comparable Company Analysis (CCA), and Precedent Transactions Analysis (PTA). I use Excel, SQL, Power BI, and Python to analyse financial and business data, automate reporting, develop analytical models, and improve decision-making.
As a Data Scientist, I apply Python, statistical analysis, machine learning, predictive analytics, data mining, and big data techniques to identify patterns, generate insights, build predictive models, and solve complex business problems. I am particularly interested in applying data science to financial services, credit risk, portfolio analytics, forecasting, fraud detection, and business performance optimisation.
I hold certifications from the Financial Modeling Institute (AFM) and Corporate Finance Institute (CFI), complemented by a Data Science qualification from Explore AI Academy. This combination of finance and technology allows me to bridge the gap between financial analysis, business intelligence, and advanced analytics.
My goal is to build data-driven solutions that go beyond reporting - using analytics, predictive modelling, automation, and financial intelligence to help organisations make faster, smarter, and more informed decisions
