Goutham L.

CFA charterholder in Dubai, 7+ years in Derivatives Valuation, Options Infrastructure, Equity Research and Python. Options reconciliation & trading infrastructure: Charles Schwab and Tastytrade APIs integrated into standardized trade-level data: spread merging, partial closes, assignment and exercise handling, realized P&L and return on capital. The same pattern applies to any broker or market-data API. Reconciled books of 2,000+ multi-leg spread trades across multiple accounts. Derivatives pricing & valuation: forward, option and swap pricing platforms built in Python (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, QuantLib, curve modelling). Led a derivatives system rebuild that cut valuation time by 80%+ with sub-second pricing, and valued $100M+ of FX derivatives, saving clients an average of 50bps. Structured and built 10 bespoke equity-linked notes at ~$200K notional, with underlying baskets selected through constituent-level fundamental research. Dashboards & reporting: live position monitoring, loss-range alerting, and portfolio trackers reporting DPI, RVPI, TVPI and Net IRR. Equity research & financial writing: company deep dives, fund tear sheets and pitch decks produced from a ticker alone, plus educational content on derivatives trading for beginner-to-intermediate traders. Tutoring: I also train CFA candidates across all 3 levels of the CFA exam, provide bespoke training to clients engaged with sophisticated financial software and tutoring to MBA students in Finance.
