Tell me about yourself - General

 I am an experienced expert and a research analyst at CBRT’s Structural Economic Research Department. I am a specialist in real sector analysis, risk, and banking. I am responsible for preparing ad-hoc reports and notes for the upper management about the systemic and credit risks of the financial and non-financial sectors, financial stability, and development issues.

I have also worked on establishing the departmental research and reporting data warehouse coordinating efforts with the Statistics Department and on the design. For the last year and a half, I have been tasked with managing the editorial work of the CBRT's online publication Central Bank Review, hosted by Elsevier. Recently, I was selected as a tutor/trainer for an in-house position to teach Data Analytics and Visualisation, Data Mining, and Machine Learning subjects.

Before I moved here, I have worked in the Statistics Department for about 19 years. I have worked on many projects along with many other duties related to real sector statistics. I have made a lot of improvements, led project teams and task groups, delivered projects of all different scales.  I have inspired the designs of many projects which are still in use in the bank and other institutions and represented the bank both abroad and domestically.
Over the years, my focus was on real and financial sectors within financial stability and macro-prudential policy-making framework. My work has been a crucial source of contribution to supporting the policy-makers.
I have always had a heavy workload spread around the year with challenging deadlines and tight time budgets. I could manage these challenges and be productive by being highly organized and thorough meticulous planning efforts. One last thing I should say, all these years I have dealt with large datasets and I have become comfortable in handling them productively and efficiently.

Now that I have about 13 years left for my retirement, I am gradually planning to work toward setting up my own data analysis business in 10 years and enjoy doing what I did so far on my own time probably online. I am also still working on Data Analytics and Visualisation, Data Mining, and Machine Learning subjects currently, and glad that the tutorial role recently I have been selected to fill makes me really happy. I feel happy helping others, and this teaching role will be helpful for my dreams of teaching at college too.
