Research & Writing.

Two streams: applied quantitative research, and commentary on public finance in emerging markets, a domain where I have practitioner-level knowledge from building systems inside it.

Applied research

Sovereign debt machine learning, credit risk methodology, and quantitative analysis of market events.

Working paper

Predicting sovereign debt distress across 49 economies at AUROC 0.943

Gradient-boosted classifiers trained on macro-fiscal panel data from the IMF and World Bank, with out-of-sample validation designed to prevent look-ahead leakage. Distress risk concentrates in the interaction of short-term external debt with reserve adequacy, not in headline debt-to-GDP. Now being prepared for peer-reviewed submission.

Policy commentary

Fiscal policy and tax reform in emerging markets, written from experience building revenue infrastructure for a federal authority, not from the outside looking in.

Quantitative laboratory

Live instruments built to keep the methodology sharp: pricing, risk, forecasting, and market analytics. Research practice, in working code.
