ABOUT KARTHIK ATHANIMATH

Finance and data-driven operations professional with a Master’s degree in Finance from Oxford Brookes university, with strong interests in Investment Banking, Capital Markets, Trading Operations, and Financial Data Analytics. I combine financial markets knowledge with analytical and technical skills to support data-driven decision making, operational efficiency, and technology-enabled financial processes.Through my academic and practical experience, I have worked with large financial datasets to support transaction analysis, reconciliation, and operational reporting. I have analyzed and validated financial transaction records using Python, SQL, and advanced Microsoft Excel (Pivot Tables, Power Query, and complex formulas) to improve reporting accuracy and operational transparency. By implementing data-driven automation and workflow optimization, I helped reduce manual processing time by ~30% while improving data quality and operational control frameworks.My technical skill set includes Python, SQL, advanced Excel analytics, data reconciliation, workflow automation, and financial data analysis. I am particularly interested in leveraging technology, automation, and emerging AI solutions such as large language models (LLMs) to enhance financial operations and support trading and investment decision-making processes.I am currently seeking opportunities in Investment Banking, Trading Operations, Capital Markets, or Financial Analyst roles, where I can contribute to financial analysis, trade lifecycle management, data-driven insights, and technology-enabled process improvements within global financial institutions.
