About
A bit about me
Subhankar Shukla
Finance & Economics · Rotman Commerce · Class of 2027
Third year at Rotman Commerce — and I've spent it doing things most people do after they graduate. Full-time analyst at Emerging Market Investors Alliance in New York, covering sovereign debt and ESG across 72 countries. Passed CFA Level I last November. Still technically a student.
Before New York, it was New Delhi — building DCF models for AI and clean energy startups at Pixel Galaxy Studio that went straight into CAD $1M pre-seed proposals. I also write enough code to build and ship real tools — not just scripts, but full-stack applications with Python, Flask, and Docker. Finance and tech aren't separate interests for me. They're the same one.
I'm looking for roles in finance and investment — anywhere the work is serious and the learning curve is steep.
