Hi Everyone
I'm Harsh Raj, a Financial Engineering master's student at NYU Tandon with nearly four years of experience in quantitative risk and data analytics at Bank of America. I'm now building on that foundation to pursue opportunities in quantitative research, risk management, and financial markets.
About me
Before pursuing my MS in Financial Engineering at NYU Tandon, I spent nearly four years at Bank of America in the Quantitative Strategies & Data Group, working on market risk reporting, FRTB, and VaR analytics. My work included developing and maintaining data controls, improving reporting processes, and building Excel VBA automation that reduced manual effort by up to 95%.
Earlier, at ZS Associates, I worked on healthcare analytics, developing Python forecasting models, analyzing a $2 billion specialty pharmaceutical portfolio, and migrating data pipelines to AWS.
I'm particularly interested in the intersection of quantitative modeling, risk management, and financial markets, where I can combine my industry experience with the technical and mathematical foundations I'm developing at NYU.
Outside finance, you'll usually find me playing chess or following football and cricket.
For Recruiters
I'm actively exploring internship opportunities in quantitative finance, market risk, and trading-related roles. If my background aligns with your team's needs, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect.
