  CDO Analytics - Developer

  I developed and supported Financial models for CDOs - Collateralized Debt Obligations.To distill the role into one sentence: I took legal documents that govern the deal and converted them into reports designed to test how well that deal is doing and how robust it is. The model used SQL and scripting languages to create reports and manipulate data. I started off supporting this system and other systems, liaising with our client facing team and our data entry team in India. The job often requires solutions to complex problems in a timely manner, while remaining composed and professional. In the past 18 months I've moved to a more development role, building the financial models from the beginning. Show less
