Hi, I’m Shailendra Sahu, and I bring over 17 years of experience in the financial markets, specializing in quantitative finance, risk analytics, and trading. I’m passionate about using data to turn complex information into actionable insights.
I’ve had the exciting opportunity to work at a high-frequency trading (HFT) firm, where managing risk is the key to success. My quantitative skills have been put to the test developing and implementing advanced risk management systems and monitoring trades in real time.
My career spans multiple asset classes, including equities, derivatives, commodities, and currencies. I’ve led the design and build-out of sophisticated risk models and have a deep understanding of financial risk management frameworks, best practices, and methodologies. My expertise covers market risk, liquidity risk, derivative valuation, risk-based capital, asset allocation, and risk/performance attribution.
I’m particularly proud of earning the Certificate in Quantitative Finance (CQF), which has deepened my knowledge of cutting-edge quantitative techniques in finance. I have also completed a Data Science course from WorldQuant University, further enhancing my analytical skills. Additionally, I hold the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) certification, underscoring my commitment to excellence in risk management. I was also honored to be recognized as a LinkedIn Top Voice, which highlights my contributions and influence in the field.
I’m excited to share my knowledge and experience with you through this blog. I’ll be writing about a range of topics related to data science, HFT, quantitative analysis, risk management, portfolio construction, trading strategies, and the financial markets. I hope you’ll join me on this journey into the fascinating world of quant finance!
