03 /How I work
I like understanding how something works beneath the surface.
I learn by rebuilding, testing and asking questions. I want to understand the assumptions behind a number, the path the data took, and what could change the conclusion.
I value clear explanations and thoughtful challenge. Whether I am discussing a process with its owner or explaining a finding to a stakeholder, the aim is the same: make the issue understandable and the next step practical.
I approach new tools with curiosity and a testing mindset. AI and coding agents are part of my personal development workflow; the value comes from framing a useful problem and examining the output.
04 /Projects
Personal projects built with AI assistance and coding agents, combining Python development with risk and audit knowledge.
Portfolio risk engine
A Python toolkit for exploring value at risk, stress scenarios and exposures across a multi-asset portfolio. Brings portfolio risk measures together to examine how a book responds to changing market conditions.
Options analytics
Python tools for option pricing, Greeks and strategy screening. Uses price and sensitivity analysis to compare options strategies and examine how their risk changes with market inputs.
05 /A little about me
My curiosity extends beyond finance. I read philosophy and enjoy questions about how we know what we know. Away from the desk, I spend time hiking, backpacking and taking photographs.
I grew up speaking Tatar, speak Russian and English, and have built my education and career in the United States. Learning across different environments is a familiar part of my life.
