About me

MSc Finance & Risk Management candidate who went from reading balance sheets in India to screening M&A targets in Tuscany — and somehow picked up 13 Forage simulations, 11 certifications, and a thesis about inventory buildup crashing valuations along the way.

I build DCF models, not apps. I debug P&L variances, not code. I speak fluent Excel, conversational Python, and survival Italian.

Currently looking for: Financial Analyst · FP&A · Data Analyst · BI Analyst · Risk Analyst roles in Italia 🇮🇹

13 Forage Simulations

I don't just say "I know investment banking." I've built the models, written the memos, and stress-tested the portfolios. Firm by firm.


🏛️ Investment Banking & M&A

JPMorgan · Investment Banking

Built DCF models for 3 M&A targets from scratch. Developed a full target screening framework, ran accretion/dilution analysis and competitor-bid scenarios, then distilled everything into a two-page executive auction summary.

🔗 View Project

Citi · Investment Banking

Comparable company analysis covering 8 peers. Five-year revenue forecasts with 3 scenario cases. Full company profiles with enterprise value breakdowns — everything a deal team needs to say "yes" or "not at that price."

🔗 View Project

Bank of America · Investment Banking

SWOT + DCF for Webflix. Tore apart 10-K filings of 2 targets for M&A screening. Then evaluated ECM vs DCM capital structure options — because the deal is only as good as the funding behind it.

💼 Finance, FP&A & Controllers

Citi · Finance (FP&A)

Built and maintained dashboards tracking 12 core business KPIs. Monthly credit-card sales forecasts. Supported the annual budgeting cycle. The unglamorous backbone of FP&A — and I enjoy it more than I probably should.

🔗 View Project

Citi · Services

Designed a tailored credit card product for business clients. Structured a Treasury & Trade Solutions proposal. Built a risk hedging strategy using derivatives — because revenue means nothing if FX eats it.

🔗 View Project

Goldman Sachs · Controllers

Monthly P&L reporting and ledger reconciliation across 4 business units. Regulatory compliance checks. Prepared financial data packs for senior stakeholders — the people who ask "why is this number different from last month?" at 6pm on a Friday.

🛡️ Risk, Credit & Forensics

Standard Chartered · Credit Analyst

Led the annual credit review of Green Solutions Manufacturing. Financial health analysis using 15+ ratios with industry benchmarking. Assessed credit risk exposure and presented findings to the credit officer. The kind of work where one wrong ratio ruins someone's Thursday.

🔗 View Project

EY · Forensic & Integrity Services

Full fraud investigation simulation on a $2.3M case. Applied the fraud triangle to 200+ financial documents. Found 7 financial crime indicators and mapped regulatory exposure. Forensic accounting is basically being a detective who's really into spreadsheets.

🔗 View Project

Goldman Sachs · Risk

Quantitative risk assessment across 12 client profiles and a €450M real estate portfolio. Credit risk exposures via structured due diligence and stress testing. Because "what's the worst that could happen?" is actually a valid analytical question.

🔗 View Project


📐 Quant Research & Operations

JPMorgan · Quantitative Research

Built 4 quantitative valuation models and portfolio optimisation algorithms using Python and financial mathematics. Statistical analysis on 50,000+ real market data points. The closest I get to "coding" — and it's still about money.

🔗 View Project

Goldman Sachs · Operations

Streamlined wealth management ops for 3 client segments. Resolved 28 settlement issues, managed €12M in asset transfers, and identified 5 process improvements. Operations isn't sexy — until something breaks and everyone looks at you.

🔗 View Project


🧠 Strategy Consulting & Advisory

BCG · Strategy Consulting

Full profitability analysis on the Copier Co. case. Hypothesis-driven market synthesis → 3 structured strategic recommendations → executive-style presentation to a simulated C-suite. Consulting is just finance with more PowerPoint slides and fancier frameworks.

🔗 View Project

KPMG · Advisory

AI-driven risk advisory analysis across 6 processes. Identified 9 compliance gaps. Presented data-driven remediation recommendations. Because "we should probably fix that" sounds better with a chart attached.

Real-world experience

Valdonica SRL · Tuscany, Italy — Junior M&A Analyst Support Oct – Dec 2024

Screened Italian luxury hospitality M&A targets using EV/EBITDA, revenue growth, and EBIT margin scoring. Built Excel-based DCF + comparable companies analysis with sensitivity across 5 assumptions and 5-year projections. Compiled KPI summaries, P&L reviews, competitor benchmarks, and due diligence packs. Real clients, real stakes, real espresso consumption.


Featured project

TRON + Sparse6 + psychology — 18 character archetypes, works with Claude / ChatGPT / Gemini / any LLM.

Thesis

"Inventory Buildup as an Early Warning Signal: Working-Capital Overhang, Cash-Flow Squeeze, and Valuation Reset"

75 firms · 13 sectors · 6 super-groups · 48 formulas · FactSet · FRED

When inventory balloons relative to sales, it quietly telegraphs a cash-flow crunch — and the market eventually reprices the risk. Testing whether the signal holds across sectors and what the lead-lag structure looks like.

If that sentence excited you, we should probably talk. Expected: July 2026

Also available for unreasonable conversations about inventory cycles and working-capital traps.
