Financial Data Analyst (Investment Advisory, Capital Markets, Fixed Income, Treasury)

I am a financial analyst and investment professional with an MSc in Financial Engineering and six years of experience across investment analysis, capital markets advisory, credit risk, fixed income, and quantitative financial modeling. My work has spanned buy-side and sell-side mandates for major financial institutions including Access Bank, Zenith Bank, and Flutterwave, where I built DCF, LBO, and valuation models, evaluated credit and debt structures, and delivered analytical insights to senior leadership and investment committees. Most recently I supported investment appraisal and portfolio analysis for a public sector investment portfolio at Invest Ontario, using NPV and IRR frameworks to evaluate capital deployment decisions. 

My technical toolkit includes Python, SQL, Excel with VBA, and Power BI, and my Financial Engineering MSc built a quantitative foundation in financial modeling, derivatives pricing, risk analysis, and portfolio theory that I am actively applying to new challenges. 

I am targeting roles in quantitative finance, portfolio risk analytics, investment analysis, and digital asset finance. I am open to remote opportunities globally and available immediately.
