I work where finance meets data. I hold an MSc in Business Analytics and Consultancy from Heriot-Watt University (Dubai, 2026). My background runs across audit, retail banking, and investment operations, with hands-on UAE VAT and e-invoicing compliance work.
I'm aiming for equity research, corporate finance, and finance or investment analyst roles in Dubai and the wider GCC.

Search-induced overfitting: MSc dissertation A controlled study of 136,080 backtests on 30 US stocks. The best strategy from each search averaged a Sharpe ratio of 0.76 on the data it was picked on, and 0.26 on unseen data.
