About

I’m looking for part-time Business Analyst or Product Manager roles. I run AFTA in parallel—part-time is a deliberate, stable setup, not a stopgap. 15+ years in fintech, trading, lending, risk analytics, and D2C operations. Strong applied mathematics background and former Senior Data Scientist delivering complex ML models (LTV, AML, trading risk). Skilled in product discovery, requirements elicitation, analytical problem-solving, and aligning cross-functional teams.

At AFTA I lead positioning, service design, and proof-of-capability (demos and use cases) for process discovery and workflow automation. I use modern GenAI tooling (Cursor IDE, OpenSpec, LLM-assisted documentation) to accelerate BA work. Combine quantitative rigor with product thinking; comfortable in AI-adjacent, data-driven, and operations-heavy environments.
