Meet Sunny
Hello! I’m Sunny, a Financial Technology (FinTech) postgraduate student at the University of Nottingham Business School, graduating in 2025. I hold a First-Class Honours degree in Data Science, which I achieved alongside a scholarship for my academic achievements. I’m passionate about combining finance, technology, and data to create innovative solutions that can transform the financial industry.
Before moving into FinTech, I worked in construction and engineering, where I developed strong skills in business development, design, and problem-solving. These experiences have helped me approach complex challenges with confidence, and they’ve provided me with a solid foundation to navigate new industries and ideas.
Throughout my studies and practical projects, I have gained comprehensive experience in:
- Financial markets and instruments
- Islamic finance
- Programming for FinTech
- Blockchain and cryptocurrency
- Machine learning and quantitative research methods
- Information systems design and development
- Private equity and venture capital
- Technology management and financial regulation
I have also developed practical expertise in computational mathematics, statistical methods, and personal trading experience across equities, fixed income, and derivatives. My hands-on work with financial data analysis tools has given me valuable insights into the intricate connections between finance, technology, and regulation.
At the heart of my approach is collaboration. I believe that innovation thrives in diverse teams, where different perspectives come together to turn ideas into reality. While individuals like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs are often celebrated for their genius, I believe that it is the collective effort of talented professionals from various fields that truly shapes the future of any industry.
I’m particularly excited to contribute to teams that leverage creativity, technology, and regulatory insight to build the future of finance. Whether through developing trading strategies, exploring cutting-edge fintech solutions, or tackling the complexities of financial regulation, I’m eager to collaborate with like-minded professionals to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
