An externship with HP Tech Ventures on sourcing and evaluating early-stage tech startups, focused on investment thesis, market analysis, and due diligence practices.
Analyzed a 5,000-account consumer lending portfolio and segmented borrowers into low, moderate, and high-risk bands using utilization, debt-to-income ratio, payment history, balances, and account characteristics. Identified delinquency rates by segment and developed management recommendations for tiered risk monitoring, early-warning review queues, targeted borrower outreach, and utilization/DTI-based underwriting flags.
