I began my career as a Portfolio Manager, where I honed my skills in data-driven decision-making and developed a deep understanding of financial markets. After passing the CFA Level 1 Exam and gaining 2.5 years of professional experience, I decided to further my education by pursuing a Master's degree in Financial Modelling and Investment at the University of Glasgow, supported by the prestigious Chevening Scholarship. My time at the University has been incredibly enriching, where I not only gained expertise in financial modelling and investment but also enhanced my technical skills in Python, SQL, and various analytical tools. Winning the Adam Smith Skills Award for my project in the Introduction to Python & Apps course further fueled my passion for leveraging data analytics in finance. In addition to my academic achievements, I gained practical experience as a Research Assistant at the University of Glasgow, where I assisted in data collection and analysis using Python and SQL. My previous role as a Portfolio Manager at the Central Bank of Armenia involved generating trade ideas aligned with the broader investment strategy to maximize returns while minimizing risks. I also completed a Data Nanodegree from Code First Girls, which equipped me with essential skills in data extraction, analysis, and visualization, further enhancing my ability to contribute to data-driven decision-making. My comprehensive skill set, combined with my strong educational background and hands-on experience, positions me well for a successful career in finance and data analytics.Tech Stack
