About Stephanie K.

I’m a Data Engineer, Software Engineer, and NYU Stern MBA candidate with a career that’s moved from healthcare to luxury retail to technology. I began in the medical field, influenced by a family of healthcare professionals, before transitioning into luxury retail with Richemont and Tiffany & Co, where I honed the art of precision, service, and relationship-building.Running my own e-commerce business sparked my passion for tech, leading me into software engineering and ultimately to the quantitative trading department at Wells Fargo. There, I work with risk teams and trading desks to consolidate complex datasets, streamline reporting, and build dashboards in Power BI, SQL, and Dremio that give leadership clear, real-time visibility into exposure, performance, and trends.Outside of work, I’m VP of Philanthropy for NYU Stern’s Langone Student Government, organizing initiatives from charity 5Ks to blood drives. My focus is at the intersection of data, technology, and strategy; creating solutions that are both technically sound and business-driven.
