Markets, portfolios and technology
Exploring how data, research and better tools can improve investment decisions.
Open to full-time opportunities in investment and portfolio roles across fixed income, credit, private markets and investment analytics. Based in Frankfurt and open to relocation.
Before moving to Germany, I spent almost four years in International Markets & Investments at the State Bank of Pakistan, working with sovereign reserve portfolios through the pandemic recovery, the global inflation shock and the monetary-tightening cycle that followed.
I recently completed the Master of Finance in Capital Markets at Frankfurt School and am a CFA Level III candidate. During the degree, I worked at Allianz Investment Management—first in Investment Analytics & ESG and later in Private Markets.
Working across these settings made me increasingly interested in how data and quantitative methods can improve investment decisions—where they add value, where they fall short and where judgement still matters.
