Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Post-trade & payments consultant with solid experience in complex banking environments, particularly around Murex, Summit, and GPP (Global PayPlus) payment engines. I cover the entire FO->BO chain with particular expertise in payments, cash management, settlement (MT/MX), and accounting (CRE/CRI).

My assignments include transformation, optimization, and market system migration projects, encompassing scoping and functional analysis, IT/Business interface, as well as post-trade process improvement (STP, investigations, reconciliations, reporting).

In addition to this functional expertise, I am developing a specialization in data and artificial intelligence applied to trade and payments. I am currently focusing on projects integrating predictive AI use cases, such as predicting payment or settlement failures, anticipating post-trade breaks, early detection of operational anomalies, and analyzing patterns leading to manual processing or settlement delays.

The objective is to support financial institutions in evolving towards more intelligent, predictive, and capital-efficient post-trade operations by leveraging existing data while generating measurable gains in operational risk reduction, costs, and processing times.
