Summary
Leonardo Rocchi is an applied mathematician and quantitative risk analyst with eight years' experience building and validating margining and market-risk models at BME CLEARING. He blends PhD-level numerical analysis with hands-on Python/Matlab development, producing production margin calculations, VaR-based models, SPAN-like parametric improvements, and rapid prototypes in Jupyter and Excel. Comfortable with large-scale data manipulation (SQL), back-testing, stress-testing and default management workflows, he also crafts clear model documentation in LaTeX/Word. Earlier teaching roles at the University of Birmingham underpin his ability to explain complex methods and train stakeholders. Based in Madrid, he brings a research mindset to practical risk engineering, routinely turning rigorous mathematics into auditable, production-ready systems.
