Final-year Statistics student building a career in insurance and banking analytics:
pricing and reserving, credit and balance-sheet risk, financial crime, and decision-support reporting.
I am a final-year Statistics student at Süleyman Demirel University (graduating June 2027). I combine statistical modelling with insurance and banking domain knowledge: I hold the SEGEM Insurance Technical Personnel certificate and have passed two SPL Level 3 capital-markets licence modules.
My portfolio turns financial and operational data into pricing indications, reserve estimates, risk indicators, explainable models and executive dashboards. The strongest areas are motor insurance pricing and claims reserving, credit risk, Treasury & ALM / IRRBB, and AML/KYC. Running my own e-commerce business for several years taught me to tie analysis to profitability, pricing and operational constraints.
Portfolio transparency: Unless a repository explicitly states otherwise, its datasets and business outputs are synthetic or controlled. They demonstrate methodology, validation, engineering quality and business interpretation, not real customer or institutional data.

TÜBİTAK 2209-A undergraduate research project (in progress). Compares a traditional irradiance-based parametric insurance index with a machine-learning production index for solar power plants in Konya, Niğde, Karaman and Sivas, and measures how much basis risk, the gap between index payouts and actual production losses, each design leaves.
- Hourly plant-level generation from the EPİAŞ Transparency Platform; NASA POWER and ERA5-Land meteorology.
- OLS, Ridge and Random Forest production models; basis risk scored with an asymmetric error that penalises under-payment more than over-payment; designs compared at equal premium budget.
- Sensitivity to the meteorological data source, the training period and the payout trigger.
