Aspiring Financial Data Scientist

I am a third-year University of St Andrews student studying computer science and statistics. With experience in portfolio management and stock analysis, I am looking for opportunities to further develop my skills in strategic asset management and gain exposure to a field where I can leverage my computer science background for asset evaluations and portfolio solutions. In addition to my financial experience, I have founded and developed a start-up, managed a team of product developers, and completed several internships in tech and healthcare.

Work

As the Co-Founder and Lead Developer of Klank, a university-funded start-up, I am responsible for developing an iOS application under high-pressure, constantly evolving circumstances. My goal is to complete the entire development cycle within one year, while also managing a budget of £1000. In this role, I have gained valuable experience in understanding the considerations that go into similar business models and drafting a technology roadmap to specify requirements and costs for a smoothly functioning application.As a Fund Analyst for the Global Investment Group (GIG) at the University of St Andrews, I analyze companies within the energy and utilities sector and arrange biannual sector overviews. I have also been promoted to Deputy Head of Fund, where I establish and mentor a team of analysts and adapt the investment strategy to minimize risk and outperform the market. I balance the portfolio based on each stock's liquidity, profitability, solvency, and my own personal valuation.

About

As someone with a strong interest in statistics, data, and finance, I am constantly seeking ways to better understand and visualize complex information, but I strive to balance my work by prioritizing my physical health and making time to be active with weightlifting and hikes. I also love experimenting in the kitchen with new healthy recipes, always incorporating a range of spicy flavors through my love for collecting hot sauces. I also have a creative side and enjoy challenging my mind with puzzles and crosswords or drawing whatever comes to mind to relax. Overall, I am always looking for ways to challenge and grow myself, whether through devoting time to expanding my skills, travelling the world, or pursuing the rest of my interests.
