I work where finance meets data. I hold an MSc in Business Analytics and Consultancy from Heriot-Watt University (Dubai, 2026), and I'm working in compliance and consulting at Marmin on UAE e-invoicing and VAT.
My background runs across audit, retail banking, and investment operations. I'm aiming for equity research, corporate finance, and analytics roles, with a focus on the UAE, the wider GCC, and India.

Search-induced overfitting: MSc dissertation A controlled study of 136,080 backtests on 30 US stocks. The best strategy from each search averaged a Sharpe ratio of 0.76 on the data it was picked on, and 0.26 on unseen data. Only 5 of 30 survived a multiple-testing correction, only 8 beat buy-and-hold, and none did both. The damage grows as stocks get smaller. Includes a five-step checklist for judging any backtest.
