Summary
Pengfei Xiong is a quantitative risk developer with 8 years of experience building production Python packages and models for credit demand forecasting, CCF, liquidity and stress-testing at large financial institutions including Citi and Pinpoint Asset Management. He holds a Master's in Financial Mathematics (4.0 GPA) and complements strong mathematical and statistical foundations with practical expertise in machine learning, time-series forecasting, Monte Carlo simulation and LightGBM/RNN implementations. Pengfei has a track record of translating research techniques (ARIMA-GARCH, GMM, Lasso/RF/XGBoost) into reproducible, auditable code and regulatory-ready documentation used in CCAR, CECL and IFRS9 workflows. His background spans both finance and scientific computing—from X-ray astronomy denoising with Poisson non-local PCA to enterprise risk automation—illustrating an ability to move between academic methods and production constraints. Comfortable presenting to technical and non-technical stakeholders, he also mentors new team members and led cross-functional projects that integrated model outputs into finance and risk reporting. Based in Shanghai, he is pursuing PhD-level interests in machine and deep learning while continuing to deliver scalable risk solutions.
