I am a quantitative and AI-focused analyst with over twelve years' experience across investment management, global markets and data. I currently work at Shell as a Senior AI and Commodities Business Analyst, helping to bring generative AI into trading.
Before that I spent more than a decade at BNY in London, most recently as a Quantitative Trading Analyst in Global Markets Trading. There I built analytics and AI tools used by Sales and Trading, including an LLM-powered PnL Explainer and models that measure the value of FX trading flow, and supported institutional clients across Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Gulf and Africa. Earlier roles covered liquidity and money market funds, and asset servicing.
