Data Scientist with a Master of Science degree in Applied Data Science for Banking and Finance. Possesses expertise in AI, machine learning, quantitative finance, and time series analysis, with experience in applying predictive modelling (Python, R, SAS) to large datasets.
Complemented by a Mathematical Engineering degree, a Finance Certificate, 2 years of professional experience, and current work co-founding a stealth mining-tech venture to architect algorithm-driven operational dashboards.
Eligible to work in Australia (Bridging Visa A) - Partner Visa application lodged on November 2025

Partnered with a mining expert to build a real-time scheduling dashboard that turns messy field workflows into a semi-automated, minute-by-minute shift coordinator. [See Projects section]
Product Design: Designed a centralized dashboard that turns scattered field data into a clean, unified view for shift supervisors
Core Algorithm: Co-developed a constraint-based scheduling engine that maps out minute-by-minute development tasks (drilling, blasting, bogging) and assigns appropriate machines
Full-Stack Development: Built a TypeScript grid matrix that lets users edit schedules on the fly and instantly recalculates timelines when variables change (delays, cable bolting)

Risk Strategy: Developed risk strategies for the personal loan pipeline, balancing data governance, risk, and compliance requirements with profitability; translated transactional data into assessment logic to support future predictive modeling infrastructure
Data Analytics: Queried large and complex datasets using SQL and Databricks to identify user segments driving core business growth
NPL Strategy: Designed an NLP strategy to extract keywords from user transaction text for automated financial categorization

Data Analytics (EDA): Analysed and cleaned the Longitudinal Survey of Australian Youth (LSAY) dataset, made of 15,078 observations and 4,677 variables: using R, addressed missing data, errors, and removed ineligible observations
Data Preparation: Prepared the dataset for analysis by mapping and merging variables with related values and cross-referencing them with another dataset to enable future linking
Predictive Modeling: Developed and evaluated predictive models using both standard econometric regressions and machine learning, ensuring a strong foundation in statistics and data analysis
Documentation: Documented all methodology and findings to ensure easier handoff to the other researchers

(Oltre Impact is the first impact fund manager in Italy. Its main goal is to promote and finance the development of enterprises capable of combining economic sustainability and social values)
Market Research: Performed in-depth trend analysis and technical/regulatory research on specific impact markets (e.g., sustainable plastics, waste management) contributing insights to the investment strategy
Startup Valuation: Analysed start-ups’ valuations and industry metrics using platforms like Pitchbook and Crunchbase to assess their strategic fit and business model feasibility

Cloud Migration: Led migration of financial data to Oracle PBCS cloud infrastructure for a multinational client
Data Management: Conducted data management and transformation tasks for an ERP project across 100+ entities. Managed complex accounting datasets, ensuring data quality and reporting accuracy under tight deadlines.
Team Collaboration: Involved team collaboration and complex problem-solving with limited initial guidance

Thesis: Modeling systemic risk with ∆CoVaR: a comparison of linear and neural network approaches [See Projects section]
Relevant project: Benchmark-neutral portfolio optimization. Implemented a custom factor model in Python for benchmark-neutral portfolio optimization, incorporating targeted factor tilts [See Projects section]
