About
I bridge the gap between complex financial data and clear business decisions. Currently based in Hamilton, New Zealand, pursuing a Master of Management (Business Analytics) at the University of Waikato. I bring 3+ years of FinTech experience (Arcesium/D.E. Shaw, Better.com) specializing in streamlining investment operations, building automated reconciliation workflows, and ensuring data integrity.
I don’t just report numbers; I work to understand the business logic and operational constraints behind them. PMP® certified and experienced in coordinating multiple stakeholders and deadlines.
