As a child, I was fascinated by numbers. My fascination grew as I got older and I started to be more intrigued by the rationality of data, behavioral patterns and data analysis. I have always had the attitude to engage in various critical reasoning tasks, whether it is solving numerical puzzles or understanding capital market movements. My talent for statistics and my ability to analyze large data sets inspired me to take certain courses during my studies. I chose algorithms, advanced calculus, computer programming languages, and more dynamic calculation software, like MATLAB, to further improve my quantitative skills. Then, my concern to understand how a business works and my curious nature led me to pursue a Masters in Commerce. Administration (MBA), where I realized my enthusiasm for finance. During my master's degree, I enrolled in the Financial Engineering course, which I was particularly passionate about. Through these courses, I had the first opportunity to delve into the details of structuring and pricing of various complex financial products available in the market. Due to the subject combining financial theory with engineering schemes and implementation of those using mathematical tools and programming methods, I was able to associate myself with this field. I can easily correlate my passion for finance and my cognitive abilities to my mastery of mathematics. After graduating from school, I accepted a position as a financial manager in a large trading company. At work, the simple challenge aspect of complex tasks, such as rigorous projects with a tight schedule, developing models to assess project feasibility, or a task with complex data analysis, motivates me to take on the project. ..... middle of paper ......explore the field of financial engineering. I can easily correlate my passion for finance and my cognitive abilities to my mastery of mathematics. At this stage of my career, I feel that I can contribute much more to market rigor if I develop an in-depth knowledge of market operations, taking into account growing regulatory concerns and the growing emphasis on market risk and credit. I can easily correlate my passion for finance and my cognitive abilities to my mastery of mathematics. Additionally, I believe I have acquired a combinatorial skill set suitable for taking a course in this growing field of financial engineering, which would help me hone my skills in quantitative analysis and upskill myself for a career demanding in the areas of banking, securities, corporate treasury or financial markets. providing hands-on, real-time business problem-solving experience.
