About

I have extensive experience in financial markets, particularly in Forex and interest rate trading. Over the past two years, I have worked as a Forex Trader at Barclays Private Bank, where I have been responsible for the advisory and sales trading of 25 currencies, pricing and executing a range of FX products, including vanilla and exotic derivatives. I am the primary contact for FX expertise within the bank, assisting sophisticated clients with market insights and trade ideas. Additionally, I manage FX positions within authorized limits and contribute to the development of FX culture within and outside the bank. Prior to this role, I spent several years at Barclays Corporate & Investment Bank in various treasury desk roles, where I managed FX and interest rate positions, structured hedging strategies, and handled asset and liability management. I have also worked at BNP Paribas Wealth Management, providing investment advisory services on funds, hedge funds, structured products, and other asset classes. My academic background includes a Master of Science in Finance from TBS Education and an international finance degree from Liverpool John Moores University. I am fluent in multiple languages, including English, French, and Spanish, and hold certifications in areas such as cryptocurrency, impact investing, and behavioral finance.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with.

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly.”
