Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Blishen is a pragmatic performance coordinator with 12 years of experience applying technical skills to financial data quality and automation at Fitch Ratings. A first-class Computer Science graduate, he combines strong Excel/VBA and Access expertise with practical Python, MySQL and web-scraping tools he built (including automated pool-cut downloads and “Spider” report scrapers) to streamline reporting workflows. He’s known for spotting subtle data/reporting errors by understanding financial securities on the job and for teaching less technical colleagues to use bespoke systems. Comfortable bridging the gap between finance and engineering, he brings a hands-on, improvement-focused approach to operational data challenges.
