Seven years at HSBC, Exiom, and Mazars covering rates, FX, equities, and inflation across model design and production engineering. Built XVA calibration frameworks, simulation engines, and monitoring infrastructure to production grade: from the mathematics through to automated pipelines and AI diagnostics.

What I Build
01 · Primary Expertise

XVA & Counterparty Risk

End-to-end cross-asset XVA frameworks on Rates, FX, Equities, Inflation and Credit, aggregating counterparty risk through netting and collateral structures. Assumptions, limitations, and diagnostic tests built around the three that bite: calibration instability, parameter drift between recalibrations, and discretisation and Monte Carlo error in the exposure simulation.

02

Derivatives Pricing & Calibration

Design and implementation of cross-asset stochastic models including Hull-White 3F for rates, Heston for equities, correlated FX dynamics, and local volatility surfaces, with end-to-end calibration pipelines from market data to production-ready parameters.

03

AI-Augmented Risk Infrastructure

LLM-based diagnostics identifying calibration instability and parameter drift, BiGAN-driven synthetic scenario generation to enhance stress test coverage, and automated monitoring pipelines with assumption-level alerts.
