About

Pooja

I build and test the models behind portfolio and credit decisions, then check them against what actually happened.

In brief

I help risk and investment teams catch what their models miss, so decisions rest on numbers that hold up. At Aditya Birla Capital, I built monitoring that flagged deterioration in a portfolio worth about $400M loan book about 45 days earlier than manual reviews, and in my own research I showed a standard VaR model understated 1-day 99% tail risk by 24%. I'm now a Financial Data Analyst at Acer America working in Python, SQL and Excel, and a CFA Level I candidate (May 2027).
