Building better platforms for better decisions.

My current chapter is bringing my capital markets technology experience closer to front-office investment analytics.

At Phi Partners, I support a major global investment bank's Quantitative Investment Strategies environment at the intersection of front-office analytics, capital markets data platforms, quantitative research infrastructure and analytics modernisation.

Working across Equities and Cross-Asset initiatives is expanding my understanding of how quantitative research, analytics and data infrastructure connect, while giving me a new environment in which to build credibility, learn and contribute.

Following Morgan Stanley, I deliberately used this transition period to broaden the capabilities I wanted to bring into the next stage of my career.

I deepened my knowledge of quantitative finance, explored AI-enabled analytics and decision intelligence, invested in leadership development, and gained hands-on entrepreneurial experience outside a large institutional environment.

More importantly, the period strengthened capabilities that are difficult to capture through credentials alone: learning independently, navigating uncertainty, making decisions without perfect information and creating momentum without an established structure around me.

Moving from Mumbai to Budapest marked the beginning of my international career.

Navigating a new country, professional environment and culture independently required me to adapt quickly, understand unfamiliar systems and build a new professional life from the ground up.

Two weeks later, I began the next major chapter of my career at Morgan Stanley.

The experience strengthened my confidence operating outside familiar environments and shaped the adaptability I continue to bring to new roles, teams and challenges.

My professional career began in platform automation and software delivery.

At DXC Technology, I worked across development and deployment workflows supporting enterprise insurance platforms, building hands-on experience in CI/CD, release automation, cloud deployment and production reliability.

I automated build and deployment workflows across Linux, Windows and AWS, helped modernise version control from SVN to Git, and developed automation around deployment, backup and database operations.

This chapter taught me to look beyond individual code changes and understand the systems, processes and controls required to move technology reliably from development into production.
