EXPERIENCE
GOLDMAN SACHS - Analyst | Compliance - Models (Spoofing) July 2023 - June 2024
JAVA | Hadoop | Spark | Scala | Python | AB testing | YARN | Zeppelin| Linux | Gitlab | Hbase | MapReduce | PACT
● Created a fresh job in the Hadoop distributed file system to generate below-the-line(BTL) alerts using a complex config-driven
manner, calculating top-scoring BTL alerts using selection/sampling of different signal scores.
● Helped improve the spoofing model to catch 25% more below-the-line alerts based on marketability using sensitivity analysis
on different mean and standard deviation combinations and A-B testing, thus reducing noise and increasing precision and
accuracy of the model by 20% and 15% respectively.
● Included distance from the best bid and ask in model signal calculation, reducing 40% of the False Negative alerts generated.
