About Jochem

I am a quantitative risk consultant with over 10 years of experience in financial modeling, risk analysis, and automated regulatory reporting. After my Master's in Stochastics & Financial Mathematics at the University of Amsterdam, I built my career at leading financial institutions such as ABN AMRO Clearing, ACT Commodities, and CBOE Clear Europe.

My specialization lies in building and implementing quantitative models — think margin models for Cash Equities and Fixed Income, IRB/PD models, PFE Monte Carlo simulations, and counterparty credit risk frameworks. Additionally, I automate complex reporting processes for regulators such as ESMA, DNB, and AFM, and within the scope of MiFID-II, using Python, SQL, and PySpark.

As an independent consultant, I work result-oriented and deliver solutions that are immediately deployable in production environments. I combine a strong mathematical background with hands-on programming skills and in-depth knowledge of the financial sector. My approach is analytical, pragmatic, and always focused on quality.

Available for senior freelance assignments in financial services, fintech, energy trading, or related sectors.
